 The song was recorded live, with no overdubs, on April 15th, 1993 by Dale Johnson, then a student at Loyola Marymount University enrolled in a music recording/sound engineering class.  Dale Johnson wrote:

 So, I asked them to do the recording assignment which was a live to 2 track version of "Jamie". I still have the shitty copy of the original 8-track demo that was dubbed on the back of a Grant Lee Buffalo sampler cassette somewhere in my closet (this would be the Rivers-only demo mentioned earlier in the History -karl). I hooked them up with another classmate of mine named Sharon when she didn't have a band lined up at the last minute.  I tried to get her [[that dog.]] (who was the other band I really wanted to record) but they couldn't get it together in time so I figured the Weezer guys would be down with coming back for a second time.
