WEEZER / 1192 - Weezer founding member and original bassist, Matt Sharp, while working on a series of Inchlost-albumsInch from the cutting room floor of his creative-life, stumbled upon a curious multi-track 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 responsible for earning the band a record contract for their iconic debut InchBlueInch 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. Making the decision to honor the original intention of the music and the traditional technology of the era, the songs were remixed from top to bottom, from tape to vinyl, in a 100% analog process. With Sharp as producer and Chicarrelli on the mix, the result of these sessions makes up the entirety of Inch1192Inch (named after the month and year it was originally recorded. ) The illuminating spirit of the performances on 1192 are guaranteed to turn the world upside down for blue album fans everywhere. This album stands on it's own as an essential entry into the band's discography and is crucial to understanding the first chapter in Weezer's storied history.

Produced by Rick Rubin, Make Believe spawned the single 'Beverly Hills' which became the band's first hit No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and earned Weezer their first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. The record went on to be certified platinum by the RIAA. Reissued on 120g vinyl.
