+=== Loyola Marymount University sessions, April 1993 ===
+[[Dale Johnson]], a student at Loyola Marymount University, had done sound engineering at an [[Weezer concert: 03/09/1993|in-store performance at Rhino Records]] in March, and asked Weezer to record at LMU's 24-track studios for his final project in music engineering. They recorded several versions of "[[Jamie]]" live to 2-track tape. Later, a classmate of Johnson's brought Weezer in again as she didn't have a band lined up for her project, and they recorded several takes of "[[My Name is Jonas]]" and "[[Lullaby for Wayne]]".
+{{Quote|I was the LMU student that brought Weezer into the studio and engineered the version of "Jamie" that appears on DGC Rarities Vol 1. I saw Weezer for the first time in the early spring of 1993 when i did the sound for them at an in-store at Rhino Records in Santa Monica. I had worked there for a bit and had become familiar with them thru my friends Rachel Haden and Kerry Murphy, who had booked the show there that night.
+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. 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.
+Anyways, I guess the guys were happy with the LMU version of "Jamie", but i never entirely was completely satisfied. I mean, only so much you can do with a live take and only a few hours! Rivers seemed to be really completely amazed when i told him I only got a B+ on the project. "But it's gonna be on a CD, man....!" I remember Matt being really adamant that they would do the recording project with me, but that they had to own the master. Smart boys they were, and I agreed to it, I just really wanted to be credited with the recording.|[[Dale Johnson]]|engineer of LMU sessions<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063254if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist4.html Weezer Recording History, Page 4]/</ref>}}

+{{Karlification box|Dale Johnson, a student at LMU had seen a weezer show, and asked them to come record at the LMU 24 track studios, for his final project in music engineering class. They recorded several takes of "Jamie". a few weeks later, a classmate of Mark's asked the band to come back, for her own final project. The second time, they recorded various takes of "Lullaby for Wayne" and "My Name is Jonas". On both occasions, the students had to select microphone placement and recording techniques. In all cases, the music was recorded "live", each microphone assigned to its own track. There were no overdubs.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519063254if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist4.html Weezer Recording History, Page 4]}}
