Draft:Weezer Recording Chronology: 1994-1997

<- 1993 | 1994-1997 | 1998-1999 ->
The Weezer Recording Chronology (WRC) is an attempt by Weezerpedia to create a successor to the Recording History, a detailed list of every demo, bootleg, and studio recording by the band Weezer and any directly associated bands, written by Karl Koch from the years of 2000 to 2011. Pages are separated by years. 
This page details the years 1994 through 1997. It contains demos recorded for Songs From The Black Hole, the demos and recording sessions of Pinkerton, events and recordings that led up to them, and the beginning of Weezer's first hiatus.
== 1994 ==
===Rivers 8-tracks, December 1993-January 1994===
These 8-track recordings are notable for featuring many B-sides, and songs that would go on to become tracks on Pinkerton.
====Meritricious Persiflage====
====Psoriasis Babies====
====Miscellaneous 8-tracks====
===Pat 8-tracks, January-April 1994===
These were mostly recorded at an apartment in Riverside, CA with Ric Ocasek's old 4-track that he gave to the band during sessions for the Blue Album, which is now lost.
=== "Susanne" acoustic for Susanne Filkins, February 1994 ===
Susanne Filkins was an A&R manager at Geffen Records, and the inspiration behind the song "Susanne". Weezer went into her office one day and surprised her by playing the song acapella with Wilson on acoustic guitar, which reportedly moved her to tears. Karl Koch recorded the moment to microcassette.
=== Matt 4-track demos, fall 1993-spring 1994 ===
=== Space Twins demo, Craterface, spring 1994 ===
This was Brian Bell's first Space Twins demo, recorded with then-girlfriend Susan Fox in Los Angeles.
=== Suburban Advantage EP, spring 1994 ===
"Suburban Advantage" was an alias Wilson used for his solo music and was also the name given to his first "proper" demo tape. The drums were done with a Dr. Rhythm drum machine, in an attempt to achieve a "different" sound. About 8-10 copies were made and given to friends and industry contacts at Geffen.
=== That's Incredible! demos, April 1994 ===
This was a series of 16 or 24-track recordings by the band that would eventually become The Rentals, named That's Incredible! by Tom Grimley. These recordings were done at Hellcentro, a TV voiceover studio owned by guitarist Rod Cervera's father. The lineup consisted of Sharp on vocals, lead guitar, and bass, Rachel Haden on vocals, Cervera on rhythm guitar, and Wilson on drums.
These sessions would be scrapped in the spring of 1995, when the band were able to record with Tom Grimley at Poop Alley Studios.Weezine Issue 5 - Winter 1996
 
=== Rivers demos, April 22(?), 1994 ===
Rivers recorded a set of demos entitled 10 Songs from the Valley at his apartment in Van Nuys that he shared with Koch and Kevin Ridel. The last two tracks were recorded at Los Angeles Valley College.
===Cody's concert, May 29, 1994===
Weezer played a show at Cody's on May 29, 1994. This show was recorded and is currently the earliest known bootleg recording by an audience member.
===Undone - The Sweater Song radio edits, June(?) 1994===
Geffen Records wanted to release a single edit of "Undone - The Sweater Song" for radio stations,Collectors Discography - Page 1 so Rivers Cuomo asked for an edit to be made with the opening shortened and a short fade-out after the last "ooo". An edit with these changes, along with a shortened solo, was sent to the band to review. Cuomo approved the edit without noticing the shortened solo, as he had fast forwarded to hear the fade-out. After receiving promo copies a week later, they discovered the solo edit and demanded a new one be made without it.Weezine Issue 3 - Summer 1995
Somewhere between 750 and 2000 copies exist of the initial radio single, and are more common than the intended edit.
===Cody's concert, July 8, 1994===

When time came for "Undone - The Sweater Song" to be released in Australia, Weezer were asked to record B-sides for the single release. The session was supposed to last one day, but the studio they were working in went haywire and they had to book a session at Ocean Way Studios for the next day.Weezer (The Blue Album) Deluxe Edition liner notes to complete them. Paul du Gré helped engineer these sessions.
Recorded during this session were "Susanne", "My Evaline", an unreleased version of "Jamie", and another version of "Mykel and Carli" (the version from the Blue Album sessions in New York was deemed too hard to salvage.)
=== Rivers 8-tracks, July 1994 ===
With the Blue Album's release in May and frequent touring following, it was becoming hard for anyone in Weezer to find time to record. However, at the end of every tour, there was some downtime, and everyone made use of it.
=== "No Show", Summer 1994 ===
The first official release by Space Twins, released on 7-inch vinyl by World Domination in the fall of 1994. Bell sold boxes of these on the Blue Album tour while opening for Live. Very little info exists on the recording of the single, however a test pressing exists with a date of August 22, 1994 which gives an estimate of the summer of 1994.https://www.discogs.com/release/16283046-Space-Twins-No-Show

While on the World Domination Tour, Sharp had a family emergency and had to fly back home, which left the rest of the band stuck in Germany with some free time after having to cancel the next six shows. Cuomo, Wilson, and Koch made use of a rented studio in Hamburg, with Wilson and Koch recording for Southern Fried Swing, Wilson recording some demos by himself, and Cuomo working on Songs from the Black Hole. It is unknown exactly what recordings were done except for the three listed below.
=== Songs from the Black Hole, as of February 1995 ===
Songs from the Black Hole (hereby referred to and initialized as SFTBH) was intended to be the follow-up to the Blue Album, a space-themed rock opera inspired by the likes of Jesus Christ Superstar and Les Misérables. Cuomo would spend the Christmas break of 1994 and occasional time in the beginning of 1995 writing and demoing new music for this project, while sometimes slotting in older songs to fit the story as well (it is noted where a recording has already been listed). The first demoed tracklist is largely made up of recordings from Christmas break in 1994 and when the band was stuck in Germany in February.

==== For the Ladies ====
==== Return of the Rentals ====
This list is in the order that the songs were finished.
=== Jocobono, late spring-early summer 1995 ===
Jocobono was a band from Boston, Massachusetts that was active from mid 1995 to early 1997. 
Mikey Welsh left Heretix in early 1995 and joined the new lineup of local band Stompbox (who then changed their name to Slower).Archive.org archive of the March 10, 1995 Boston PhoenixArchive.org archive of the April 21, 1995 Boston Phoenix However, after months of discussions with Billy O’Malley and Todd Perlmutter about forming a band, Welsh joined them for rehearsals that would eventually lead to the recording of their first and only album, Jocobono. The album was recorded over a period of two days at New Alliance Studios in Boston.Hefflon, Scott. Jocobono - Interview. October 1, 1995. Archived on Weezerpedia and archive.org from original
=== "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly" for Angus soundtrack, June 2, 1995 ===
This 24-track session was recorded at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York, which was a converted church. Cuomo had initially written "Wanda (You're My Only Love)" based on an early draft of the script for the movie Angus (a production of Atlas/Third Rail Management, who also managed Weezer), but it was deemed "too literal", and "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly" was submitted instead. This version was produced by Rob Cavallo, known for his lengthy portfolio with Green Day, and also the son of Bob Cavallo, one of Weezer's managers. Cuomo had recently gotten a surgical procedure performed on his right leg, thus he was on heavy medication and struggled with his vocals.
=== Worthy Farm concert, June 24, 1995===
Weezer performed at Worthy Farm on June 24, 1995 for the Glastonbury Festival. This show was filmed by Graeme Stevenson and circulates as a bootleg.

=== Kittymuzzle, late 1995 ===
As Welsh's tenure with Jocobono continued, he and the band were invited to contribute to Boston band Grind's first album Kittymuzzle. Due to the band having no official bassist after a hiatus caused by bassist Rachel Steczynski being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1994, two people played on bass on the album.Archive.org archive of the January 26, 1996 Boston PhoenixArchive.org archive of the April 1, 1994 Boston Phoenix Welsh played on 5 tracks while the whole band contributed handclaps to "Beasts".

=== Sessions at Electric Lady Studios, late August—September 6, 1995 ===
==== "Susanne" remix sessions, late August 1995 ====
"Susanne" was remixed by Chris Shaw for the Mallrats soundtrack. Backing vocals and some guitars were re-recorded, and keyboard was added to the solo section. This session was recorded while rehearsals for the second album took place, so Cuomo and Bell ran between rehearsals and the vocal booth for a day.
==== Pinkerton sessions ====
These sessions marked the beginning of the almost year-long recording process of the album that would become Pinkerton. These songs, despite likely being recorded for the only partially-written SFTBH, were all recorded separately with little to no story continuity, in order to get a jumpstart on the second Weezer album.
"You Gave Your Love to Me Softly" was re-recorded at these sessions, as Rivers Cuomo felt his singing suffered after his leg operation.
==== Huge Guy sessions ====
Wilson also recorded some 24-track demos under the alias of "Huge Guy" in a separate room at Electric Lady when he wasn't needed during Weezer's sessions.
=== Continued Pinkerton sessions at Fort Apache Studios, September 9-15, 1995 ===
The master tapes from the previous sessions were brought to Fort Apache Studios in Boston, MA, during the beginning of Cuomo's semester at Harvard, to work on vocals and guitars. These versions of the songs were leaked and bootlegged throughout the late 1990s.
=== Songs from the Black Hole as of fall 1995 ===
The new songs from this tracklist were likely recorded in February 1995 in Hamburg, Germany.
=== Huge Guy acoustic demos, October 1995 ===
=== Huge Guy electric demos, November 1995 ===
=== The Rentals "Silent Night", December 1995 ===
This was essentially an ad for the, at the time, newly released, Return of the Rentals. It was also later the namesake for Excellent Stocking Stuffer. It features Jim Richards on synth, Sharp on drums, and the advertisement's voice-over by Cervera. It was featured on KROQ's How the _____ Stole Christmas compilation in 1995.
== 1996 ==
=== Pinkerton sessions at Sound City Studios, early January 1996 ===
Recording sessions continued in early January 1996,Weezine Issue 6 - Spring 1996 lasting about two weeks. New, non-SFTBH tracks such as "El Scorcho" and "Pink Triangle" were recorded, while Cuomo was also holding on to the SFTBH concept by this point. Some of the songs initially recorded at Electric Lady Studios were re-recorded to see if a new studio would make a difference, of which only one Electric Lady recording was deemed better.
=== Continued Pinkerton sessions at Sound City, spring 1996 ===
By this time, the SFTBH idea had been abandoned in favor of the concept that became Pinkerton, and thus the two songs recorded in January were canned with it. These sessions happened during Cuomo's spring break at Harvard and were mainly just continued work on the sessions from January.
=== The Special Goodness album, March-April 1996 ===
This album, while being released as a Wilson solo album, is often referred to as the debut album by the Special Goodness. It was produced, engineered and mixed by Tony Lash, who was Wilson's roommate and the drummer from Heatmiser, in Tom Ackerman's basement (nicknamed "The Special Land" by Wilson) and White Horse Studios.
=== First Seven More Minutes sessions in London, UK, spring 1996 ===
This was the beginning of an over 2-year-long recording process for the album that would become Seven More Minutes by the Rentals, which also marked the beginning of Sharp consistently leaving early during recording sessions to go to London and work on the album.
==== "We Have a Technical", spring 1996 ====
While in England, Sharp was asked to contribute to a Gary Numan tribute album; however, with all the other members of the band being unavailable, he asked Damon Albarn from Blur to help with recording.
=== Final Pinkerton sessions, May-August 1996 ===
These sessions saw the introduction of engineer Dave Fridmann, in for Joe Barresi after the band kept asking for the album to sound like Clouds Taste Metallic by the Flaming Lips. "The Good Life", "Across the Sea", "Falling for You", and "Butterfly" had been written by the time of the previous sessions, but weren't tracked until these sessions in the summer. Most of the album was worked to completion by June at Sound City, with "Butterfly" being recorded at 6 in the morning on the final day of recording. "Devotion", "Waiting on You", and "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly" were also completed for B-sides, while "I Swear It's True" and "Getting Up and Leaving" were nearly completed but abandoned. Recording later moved to Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, where Rachel Haden recorded her vocals for "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" in one take, while recording a few extra takes just in case. By this point, Sharp had left to continue work on Seven More Minutes, so during a last-minute session at Rumbo Recorders in Canoga Park, Adam Orth was called in to play bass. This session resulted in "Tragic Girl" being worked on but eventually abandoned. Mixing was done with Jack Joseph Puig at Ocean Way Recording in Los Angeles, and the intro to "Across the Sea" was recorded on August 13. The album was released on September 24.
=== Continued work on Seven More Minutes, summer 1996 ===
These sessions were the reason behind the absence of Sharp during the recording of "Tragic Girl".
== 1997 ==
=== Ziggy's concert, January 17, 1997===
Weezer performed at Ziggy's on January 17, 1997. This show was video taped and partially circulates as a bootleg.
=== The Brewery concert, January 21, 1997===
Weezer performed at the Brewery on January 21, 1997. This show was recorded by Tony Buechler and partially circulates as a bootleg.
=== Continued work on Seven More Minutes, spring 1997 ===
=== Space Twins' fourth demo, spring 1997 ===
This demo was put onto a small handful of CD-R's in the spring of 1997 and leaked onto All Things Weezer in November 2009.
=== "Pink Triangle" B-side sessions, spring 1997 ===
While Sharp was recording in London with the Rentals, there was a lot of doubt from the rest of the band that they were going to be able to get him back to America in time for the summer tour with No Doubt. "Pink Triangle" was also on track to be released as a single (which never happened in a large capacity, only promotional copies) and they didn't have any B-sides. Both Geffen Records and the band's management felt that if the song were to be released as a single, it would need a lot of cleaning up. Studio time at Fort Apache was booked for Cuomo's spring break at Harvard, where two bass players were auditioned: Scott Riebling (then of Letters to Cleo) and an unknown person named Alex (who Cuomo described as a "bald guy with earrings"). The band ultimately chose Riebling, who played bass on the mostly re-recorded version of "Pink Triangle" with new guitars for radio, alongside completely new versions of "I Swear It's True" and "Getting Up and Leaving".
The validity of the statement about there having been two extra songs recorded is unclear.
=== Rivers DA-88 demos, September 1997 ===
These songs were demoed for Cuomo's Homie and Lovely projects. The collection they ended up on wound up unnamed.
=== Homie rehearsal tape, September 1997 ===
The lineup on these recordings is unknown. "Sheila Can Do It" and "I'll Think About You" were accidentally released on Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years in 2020.
=== "Osaka Aquabus" and "Goddess of Love", fall 1997 ===
"Osaka Aquabus" (b/w "Goddess of Love") is the Space Twins' second single, released in November 1997 by Duck Butter Records. These two recordings were engineered by J.J. Blair, who ran both Cole Rehearsals (a frequent rehearsal space for Weezer) and Fox Force Five (where Weezer would later record the "Velouria" cover in 1998).
=== Rivers demos, winter 1997/1998 ===
==== Spanky McNally ====
This was another named collection of completed/mixed demos. These were recorded at Cuomo's home in Cambridge, MA, and were likely intended for Weezer.
==== Homie "pro demo", winter 1997/1998 ====
This demo was engineered by Ross Humphries with an unknown lineup.
=== Homie album, Fall 1997 ===
An entire album's worth of Homie songs was recorded at Fort Apache with Fred Eltringham (of the Gigolo Aunts) on drums, and Drew Parsons (of Tracy Bonham's band) on bass. The tapes were never mixed down, and no track sheets have turned up, thus the track listing is unavailable. There has been debate about the completeness of the recordings, as Koch considers it a complete album while Cuomo says only the drums were recorded. The sessions, completed or not, finished sometime in November of 1997Weezine Issue 11 - Fall 1997 . It is not clear when sessions started.
=== Rivers demos, December 1997 ===
In December 1997, Cuomo recorded demos as part of the tape Stuff to Fix Later. The metadata for the files confirm a total of 4 songs on the tape, however the other songs are currently unknown.
