Weezer Fanclub Cover Compilation Vol. 1

Overview

Weezer Fanclub Cover Compilation Vol. 1 --- 1996

A contest was held by the official Weezer fan club for cover performances and the best submissions were included on this tape. It was released via the fan club periodical, Weezine, for $5. About 250 copies were made. Illustrations are uncredited and by Shel Silverstein, from his book of poems "A Light in the Attic". From the Liner Notes: "When we asked fanclub members to send us their versions of Weezer songs we sure got a lot of tapes! We had a great time listening to all of the submissions. After hours of debate and deliberation we chose these songs to appear on weezer fanclub cover compilation vol. 1. Well, the tape is finally done. We appreciate your enthusiasm and encouragement, it makes this fanclub work. Since we didn't ask permission to make this tape, we should at least thank Weezer for the original inspiration and having songs worth playing. We hope you enjoy this community masterpiece. ♡ Mykel & Carli Thanks, & big sloppy kisses: Pat Wilson - for mastering our pile of tapes onto a very small DAT Rivers Cuomo - for writing the songs that make the whole world sing Matt Sharp - for mocking our efforts with love Brian Bell - for having style enough for everyone Karl Koch - for making our obsession seem like a casual interest"
