The band produced the CDs and hand-mailed them to radio stations. ''Songs from the Forthcoming "[[Maladroit]]"'' is the title listed on the front cover, while the CD spine simply reads "'''[[Maladroit]] Sampler'''". The CD includes non-finalized versions of eight of the thirteen songs featured on the final disc. There is no mention of [[Geffen]] on the packaging, or any label aside from the [[Rivers Cuomo]] vanity label [[E.O. Smith Music]]. [[Karl Koch]] recalled the album in a chat with the [[Weezer Fan Club]] over the video conferencing platform ''Zoom'' in June of [[2020]]: | The band produced the CDs and hand-mailed them to radio stations.

{{Karl Koch quote|This was sent out by hand—we were stuffing envelopes—and we got the list of all the radio station addresses and who to send this to...we sent out hundreds of these things all over the country. Again, the label did not know we were doing this, even though we specifically asked them "Could you please get us the list of the radio stations you send CDs to?" They're like "Oh, sure! What do you need that for?" "Ah, don't worry about it!"|Weezer Fan Club Vault Dive; [[June 27]], [[2020]]<ref>Weezer Fan Club Vault Dive #1 https:// | {{Karl Koch quote|This was sent out by hand—we were stuffing envelopes—and we got the list of all the radio station addresses and who to send this to...we sent out hundreds of these things all over the country.

According to Koch, Cuomo changed his mind multiple times about how to mix certain songs, and so three different versions of the CD exist in circulation, all with nearly identical packaging. The versions can be distinguished only by the matrix/runout number printed on the inner ring of the disc: | According to Koch, Cuomo changed his mind multiple times about how to mix certain songs, and so three different versions of the CD exist in circulation, all with nearly identical packaging.
