'''''Opposite Sides of the Same Good Ol' Fence''''' is the title of at least 2 copies of ''The Kitchen Tape'', one of which was given by Cuomo to engineer [[Paul du Gré]] (who would eventually produce the ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|Blue Album]]'' b-sides "[[Mykel and Carli (Weezer song)|Mykel & Carli]]", "[[Susanne]]", and "[[My Evaline]]") in September [[1992]]. The tape contains the same recordings as ''The Kitchen Tape'', with all 8 tracks included in a new sequence. The (du Gré) tape was purchased in an eBay auction in June of [[2016]] by an [[All Things Weezer]] forum user, Geewiz, for $4,350, partially crowd-sourcing the purchase via donations from other forum members.<ref>Geewiz.

The tape (sourced from another copy, not the du Gré copy) would be re-released on CD and Vinyl on a 30th anniversary edition of ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)#Deluxe reissues|the Blue Album]]''.
