Weezer Releases 30th Anniversary Edition Of Blue Album 

November 1st, 2024

Weezer celebrates three decades of their debut full-length album with a 30th Anniversary release today of the Blue Album via Geffen/UMe. 

The Super Deluxe Edition box set includes the classic album newly remastered from the original analog tapes. Across four 12-inch 180-gram LPs, a 10-inch EP, and 7-inch, it consists of 50 songs in total—with thirty-six previously unreleased tracks (encompassing 8 “Kitchen Tape Demos”), twenty-two early practices and live recordings, six BBC radio recordings – two of which have never been heard before – and four tracks from their LMU sessions. Longtime friend, collaborator, and de facto band historian Karl Koch penned new liner notes in issue #18 of the Weezine and assembled the artwork layout with a bevy of previously unreleased photos. 

The box set boasts “sweater” embossed graphics complete with a pullable and retractable thread (as a nod to “Undone – The Sweater Song”), four lithographs, a poster perfect for the garage, song-themed sticker sheet, a twelve-sided die, and an enamel Bokkus pin. A Deluxe 3CD Set also houses four lithographs, the poster, song-themed sticker sheet, twelve-sided die, enamel Bokkus pin, and 28-page issue #18 of the Weezine. There is also an Ultra Limited Edition box set, with all of the features of the Super Deluxe Edition, but that comes wrapped in an actual knit sweater and a certificate signed by each of the band members. Only 100 of these exist and will be available for purchase on Weezer’s webstore. The Blue Album will also be available in a variety of vinyl offerings.

Often revered as one of the most important debut records of all-time, Weezer’s Blue Album first arrived on May 10, 1994. The record has generated billions of streams worldwide, and has left an indelible mark on music as a whole, cementing Weezer as one of the most beloved artists of the last three decades whose influence continues to reverberate through culture.

Earlier this week, Weezer was announced on the When We Were Young festival slated for October 28, 2025.
