Weezer founding member and original bassist, Matt Sharp, while working on a series of “lost-albums” from the cutting room floor of his creative-life, stumbled upon a curious multitrack reel of analog tape. This mysterious reel found at the bottom of a treasure chest of other master recordings just happened to contain Weezer's very first studio sessions.These were the very same recordings that were responsible for earning the band a record contract for their iconic debut 'Blue' album. These newly discovered sessions feature raw, vividly emotional and ecstatic versions of the band's timeless hit songs 'Say It Ain’t So' and 'Undone (The Sweater Song)'. Sharp and legendary music producer Joe Chicarrelli took these recordings to Los Angeles’ famed East/West Studios to take a deeper look into this mythic reel of 1-inch Ampex tape. What the two men quickly discovered was the original lineup (with guitarist Jason Cropper) in an infectious, explosively joyful, feral form.
