'''''The Black Sessions''''' is a series of bootleg CD releases from the label [[Sangatte Records]] of Weezer's [[February 16]], [[1995]] performance on the French radio show, C'est Lenoir.


'''The Black Sessions''' is a regular live-performance series on French radio.  Like other artists, Weezer played the show live to air, and the recordings were later made into a very limited set of promo only CDs, for purposes of re-broadcast.  These were not offered for sale and are very tough to find on the secondary/collector's market.
==Overview==
''The Black Sessions'' is a regular live-performance series on French radio.  Like other artists, Weezer played the show live to air, and the recordings were later made into a very limited set of promo only CDs, for purposes of re-broadcast.  These were not offered for sale and are very tough to find on the secondary/collector's market.


However, years later, several re-pressings were made and distributed, and can occasionally be found at online retailers or eBay.  Lossless files taken from such a repressing were shared at [[albumsix]], but it was soon discovered that the recordings were of lossy, mp3 quality.  It has been theorized that these repressings were made from secondary sources, or even of bootleg origin.
