Alongside the release of the "Super Deluxe" box set, the remastered version of the ''Blue Album'' was also pressed as a number of standalone vinyl issues. | |||
On [[September 4]] — in the same announcement revealing the "Super Deluxe" box set — two special pressings of the remastered album were mentioned.<ref name="boxsetannounced" /> The first was an Interscope.com-exclusive 2xLP, 45 RPM gatefold "audiophile edition", limited to 1,500 copies (originally advertised as 1,000).<ref>Interscope Records (November 11, 2024). Email communication. Screenshot: [[:File:Interscope Nov 11 Blue 30 pressing correction email]].</ref> The second was a zoetrope picture disc — a type of vinyl record pressed with an image over its grooves that, when rotated during playback, creates animated images. The zoetrope contained brief shots from ''Blue Album'' music videos on its A-side, and various pieces of Weezer iconography on its B-side. The record also came with an exclusive lithograph print of [[1994]] photograph of the band. These two releases are distinguished from all other pressings of the ''Blue Album'' by the text "weezer 30" (rather than just "weezer") on their covers. Both records were listed for pre-order alongside the "Super Deluxe" box set, all with [[November 1]] release dates. | |||
Two other exclusive presses of the remastered album went unmentioned in the original announcement but were also set to be released on [[November 1]]: an indie-exclusive "ghostly blue and clear" colored vinyl<ref>[https://recordstoreday.com/UPC/602465845556 "Blue - 30th Anniversary [Indie Exclusive Ghostly blue & clear LP]"]. Record Store Day listing. [https://web.archive.org/web/20250320182747/https://recordstoreday.com/UPC/602465845556 Archived] from the original.</ref> and a Walmart-exclusive "blue galaxy" colored vinyl.<ref>[https://www.walmart.com/ip/Weezer-Blue-Walmart-Exclusive-Blue-Galaxy-Vinyl/11151563643 "Weezer - Blue (Walmart Exclusive) - Vinyl"]. Walmart listing. [https://web.archive.org/web/20240907203859/https://www.walmart.com/ip/Weezer-Blue-Walmart-Exclusive-Blue-Galaxy-Vinyl/11151563643 Archived] from the original.</ref> Unlike the other re-issues, these two records do not have the text on their cover altered. | |||
