The [[2004]] deluxe edition, later released as ''[[Dusty Gems & Raw Nuggets]]'', sources tracks from ''[[The Kitchen Tape]]'' (an early demo tape, designed to be Weezer's "first album"), a session at Loyola Marymount University for a scrapped 7" debut single, a pre-production tape recorded by [[Ric Ocasek]] before the main recording of the album, and various live concerts from after the release of the album. | The [[2004]] deluxe edition, later released as ''[[Dusty Gems & Raw Nuggets]]'', sources tracks from ''[[The Kitchen Tape]]'' (an early demo tape, designed to be Weezer's "first album"), a session at Loyola Marymount University for a scrapped 7" debut single, a pre-production tape recorded by [[Ric Ocasek]] before the main recording of the album, and various live concerts from after the release of the album. | ||
The [[2024]] deluxe edition takes from even more sources than the original deluxe edition, such as recording sessions for the BBC, various band practices and shows recorded in [[1992]], and a June show from [[1993]]. The ''Kitchen Tapes'' and LMU sessions were also released in full. | |||

When time came for "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]" to be released in Australia, Weezer were asked to record B-sides for the single release. The session was supposed to last one day, but the studio they were working in went haywire and they had to book a session at Ocean Way Studios for the next day.<ref name="WeeziI5">[[Weezine Issue 5 - Winter 1996]]</ref><ref name="bluelinernotes">[[Weezer (The Blue Album) Deluxe Edition liner notes|''Weezer (The Blue Album)'' Deluxe Edition liner notes]]</ref> to complete them. [[Paul du Gré]] helped engineer these sessions.<ref name="WeeziI3" /> | When time came for "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]" to be released in Australia, Weezer were asked to record B-sides for the single release.
