-According to the [[Recording_History_-_Page_4#Late_Winter.2FSpring_1993:_Various_8_Track_recordings_by_Rivers.2C_and_Pat.|Recording History]], "I've Thrown It All Away" was originally recorded by [[Pat Wilson]], who initially recorded versions of the song with only drums and bass to 4-track, with an additional version thereafter recorded using a Yamaha workstation. [[Rivers Cuomo]] recorded a demo of the song in February of [[1993]]. The song has, to date, never heard by fans, but the song's title (rendered as "Thrown It All Away"), initially appeared in the spreadsheet ''[[The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo]]'', posted to [[riverscuomo.com]] in [[2008]], wherein it was noted for inclusion on ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo|Alone II]]''. The song, however, did not appear on ''Alone II''. The first time the song was heard by fans was over a Discord call with former Weezer member Jason Cropper while warming up for his first Weezercord concert on September 18th, 2020.
