'''Geezer''' is an | '''''Geezer''''' is an unlicensed bootleg [[Weezer]] CD released by the Australian record label Kiwi Records in the Spring of [[1995]]. It is deemed by band archivist and webmaster [[Karl Koch]] to be the first Weezer bootleg ever released. | ||
== | ==Overview== | ||
The bootleg contains fan-recorded audio from Weezer's [[December 4]], [[1994]] [[Weezer concert: 12/04/1994|concert in New Britain, Connecticut]]. The performance includes songs from ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)]]'', interspersed with an early performance of "[[Getchoo]]" (which would later appear on ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in [[1996]]) as well as the B-side "[[Jamie]]". | |||
''Geezer'' was produced in the city of Findon, South Australia, by the record label Kiwi Records. The label is credited with numerous other bootleg releases from the mid-'90s, for bands such as [[Nirvana]], the [[Foo Fighters]], Deep Purple, and others alt-rock contemporaries. The Weezer bootleg uses the same cover art as ''Weezer (The Blue Album)'', only with the heads of each member replaced with those of old men (in fashion with the title). It is unknown how many copies were produced or how broadly it was distributed, however it is claimed that the CD appeared in an advertisement in the American music collecting magazine ''Goldmine''. Its price ranged around $25–30. | |||
'' | It first officially saw mention by the band when it was mentioned in the Winter [[1996]] edition of ''[[Karl's Corner]]'', a column ran by [[Karl Koch]] and (originally) contained in issues of the quarterly [[Weezer Fan Club]] publication ''[[Weezine]]''. Koch describes the release, and ultimately advises readers against attempting to purchase it. | ||
