A request for covers of Weezer songs was placed in the Winter [[1996]] edition of ''[[Weezine]]'' ([[Weezine Issue 5 - Winter 1996|issue #5]]), with the announcement that a number of submissions would be chosen for inclusion in a "Weezer cover compilation tape".<ref>1996. Now What????. ''Weezine Issue #5''. 14.</ref> Approximately 60-70 submissions were sent in by cassette tape<ref name="omnibus">Koch, Karl. 2016. ''Weezine Omnibus: Deluxe Edition''.</ref> and sorted through by Mykel and Carli Allan, publishers of ''Weezine'' and heads of the fan club. After choosing 18 final tracks, the submitted cassettes were mastered by [[Pat Wilson]], and around 250 copies were produced by a local Portland tape duplication service.<ref name="omnibus" /> The compilation was made available for purchase for $5 via mail order in the Summer 1996 edition of ''Weezine'' ([[Weezine Issue 7 - Summer 1996|issue #7]]). The album sold out within 6 months.<ref name="omnibus" />

Two of the selected covers were performed by members of the band [[Ozma]]; [[Daniel Brummel]] and [[Jose Galvez]]. Brummel performed "[[You Gave Your Love to Me Softly]]" under the pseudonym "Chee Chee Boyz" (leaving a note on his credit, stating "I can't hit Rivers's high notes"), while Galvez performed "[[The World Has Turned and Left Me Here]]" under the shortened title "J.Galvez".

A second compilation was planned (with submissions being accepted in ''[[Weezine Issue 14 - May 1999|Weezine Issue #14]]''). However, likely due to the [[Historic event: 07/09/1997|untimely death of Mykel and Carli Allan]] and slow decay of the fan club, the album would not be released.<ref>1999. New Contest!.
