Unfortunately it seems Pat was careless with his recordings, and there are multiple tape-overs. over the course of 2 master tapes there is not one song that isnt cut off early, partially recorded over, or otherwise rendered unusable. In many cases different tracks have different songs on them, playing simultaneously. It sounds like he was using the tape as a practice tape, just working out the songs.I could detect definate early attempts of "I Wouldn't Say It" on both tapes, as well as one song w/ drum machine drums, similar to his later Suburban Advantage demo (see below), but clearly before that time due to its raw state.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519065020if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist5.html Weezer Recording History, Page 5]}} | Unfortunately it seems Pat was careless with his recordings, and there are multiple tape-overs. over the course of 2 master tapes there is not one song that isnt cut off early, partially recorded over, or otherwise rendered unusable.

{{Karlification box|This was a rough demo, all parts played by Pat. Soon he would move on from this material and write new songs, and make the Suburban Advantage EP.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519065020if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist5.html Weezer Recording History, Page 5]}} | |||
===Matt Sharp 4 tracks, October-November 1993=== | |||
{{expand section}} | |||
{{Karlification box|As of November, Matt had 3 songs that he was fairly pleased with. I imagine he destroyed a considerable amount of his New York hotel room recordings, focusing on a few standout tracks. He would continue to make 4 track recordings till Spring '94.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519065020if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist5.html Weezer Recording History, Page 5]}} | |||
===Rivers 8 tracks, November-December 1993=== | |||

====Martha V2, November 1993==== | |||

{{Karlification box|This officially counts as a Southern Fried Swing recording, which when I first mentioned SFS (above), I said I wouldn't be including further details of. However, this is a special exception. At my behest, Pat Wilson helped me record a more "pro" version of this song, which was probably a bad idea, as it lost its special silliness. The unusual thing is that I persuaded Rivers to play a trumpet solo on the song. He was on a kick to learn trumpet (I suppose if you've just recorded your debut major label album, you need to find new challenges!), and I corralled him into the garage. Pat played drums and guitar, I "sang". Recorded on Rivers's 8 track.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519065020if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist5.html Weezer Recording History, Page 5]}} | |||
