The Disc One of ''016'' contains an extremely rare Weezer acoustic rendition of "[[Buddy Holly]]", recorded at St. Louis radio station KPNT. The disc's artwork does not specify the date of the recording, but considering its 1999 release date, and the fact that Weezer was not active at the time, it is likely from 1996 or 1997. | ==Overview== | ||
With the cover of ''TCP 016'' touting "new music, imports, rarities, production, videos", the two-disc set is comprised of a completely audio Disc One, and Disc Two features a few dance tracks linked in a megamix, with several CD-ROM videos and video game demos. The Disc One features intermittent spoken word/announcement tracks much like a radio station ID, and the whole thing plays like a radio show. | |||
