'''Rock Candy''' and '''Boys At Play''' are unofficial CDs released by the labels "[[Home Records]]" and "[[Troll records]]" respectively in the year 1995. | |||
==History== | |||
"Rock Candy" and "Boys At Play" are very early physical [[Weezer]] bootlegs, being released around the same time as [[Geezer]] and [[American Holiday]]. "Rock Candy" was released early enough to be considered by the band as the third Weezer bootleg ever created, earning a spot on their [https://www.facebook.com/weezer/photos/today-in-weezer-history-1241994-correction-show-in-new-britain-ct-becomes-first-/10151729599937273/ Facebook page] on [[December 4]], [[2013]]. Curiously, despite being identical releases, "Boys At Play" is not mentioned. | |||
Included in the bootlegs' tracklist are multiple early versions of [[Pinkerton]] songs, such as "[[Getchoo]]" (Incorrectly labelled on both CDs as "Get You") and "[[Tired of Sex]]" (Incorrectly labelled on both CDs as "Tonight"), as well as multiple songs that ended up as B-Sides, such as "[[Jamie]]" (Incorrectly labelled on both CDs as "Jaime") and "[[You Gave Your Love To Me Softly]]" (Incorrectly labelled on both CDs as "Stay With Me Tonight"). | |||
While the two CDs have different titles, cover arts, and labels, they were both released by the same group of people. The barcodes of the two releases are identical, the unique Weezer Logo found on the artwork appears on both, and they both contain the same audio from the band's [[Weezer concert: 09/09/1994 - Minneapolis, MN|September 9, 1994]] show. The labels "Home Records" and "Troll records" can be traced back to [[Sizzling Music]], an Italian music distributer known for producing live bootleg CDs under multiple pseudonyms for dozens of bands during [[1994]] and [[1995]]. | |||
Like other similar bootlegs, these CDs are now incredibly hard to find and are coveted by collectors interested in the band's early history. | |||
