Before the Blue Album there was 1192, a set of Weezer's very first studio sessions, rescued from old analogue tape and finally pressed to vinyl.

Named for the month and year the material was recorded, these are the sessions that helped win the band its record deal, featuring the original lineup with guitarist Jason Cropper. Founding bassist Matt Sharp found the multitrack reel while digging through his archive, then took it into a Los Angeles studio where the songs were remixed in a fully analogue process, tape to vinyl.

What comes through is a young band still figuring out its own wonderful weirdness. Say It Ain't So appears in more than one take, its slow-burn verses and big release already in place, while Undone - The Sweater Song shows up in both acoustic and full-band forms.

Surf Wax America already has its sunburnt sprint, and the alternate versions let you hear arrangements being tested and reshaped in real time. The playing is raw and a little wide-eyed, which is exactly where the charm lies.

For anyone who wore out their copy of the Blue Album, it's a rare chance to hear these songs before the polish arrived, when the hooks were already there and everything else was still up for grabs.
