Weezer to Reissue ‘Pinkerton’ With New Music
Weezer have revealed the details of the Pinkerton reissue, which is due November 2nd: The first disc will feature the remastered Pinkerton, plus the album’s b-sides, radio remixes and the unreleased track “I Swear It’s True.” The second CD will be stocked with 16 rough and alternate versions of songs, live performances and radio sessions recorded throughout the Pinkerton tour, plus four unreleased tracks.
The liner notes will explain how one of the those previously unheard tracks, “Tragic Girl,” was an undocumented, last-minute recording from the Pinkerton sessions, and thus forgotten for over a decade. Two of the other unreleased tracks, “You Won’t Get With Me Tonight” and “Long Time Sunshine,” were part of the scrapped Songs from the Black Hole space opera Rivers Cuomo initially planned as Weezer‘s second album.
