Weezer Celebrates 34th Anniversary with Vinyl Box Set and Coloring Book

Celebrate 34 years of Weezer with a special vinyl box set featuring all their colored albums plus an exclusive coloring book.

A Weezer Celebration Like No Other

If you’re anything like me, Weezer’s iconic colored albums have been the soundtrack to many a road trip, late-night jam session, or just an all-around vibe boost. Well, fans, it’s time to rejoice! Weezer is marking their 34th anniversary in style by re-releasing all their famous colored albums on vinyl — bundled in a unique package that’s as much an art project as it is a collector’s dream.

What's Inside the Weezer Coloring Book Vinyl Box Set?

Now here’s where it gets fun: the 6xLP set includes their beloved albums spanning decades — starting with their breakthrough 1994 debut, The Blue Album, and running through The Green Album, The Red Album, The White Album, The Black Album, and the Teal Album. But it’s more than just vinyl. This release transforms the listening experience into a colorful adventure.

Imagine flipping through 72 original illustrations by artist Alec Longstreth, all ready for your creative touch. The package even comes with six colored markers, including a “magic marker” that reveals hidden surprises on the cover and vinyl jackets. It's basically like a grown-up coloring book for Weezer fans who want to get hands-on with their music passion.

For those who want to take their collector’s game up a notch, a deluxe box set is available, limited to just 100 copies. This rarer edition includes a Weezer backpack and a signed lithograph — perfect for showing off your dedication to the band.

You can pre-order both the six LP and deluxe box sets to secure your spot in this colorful Weezer celebration.

Shipping Dates and Band's Enthusiastic Announcement

Mark your calendars! The Weezer webstore will start shipping these box sets on April 10 for US orders, and June 26 for EU and UK fans. The band took to Instagram to share the news with a quirky animated video, writing:

“To celebrate this momentous Weezerversary, we’re releasing all of the colored albums together for the first time ever.
May we present to you, the Weezer Coloring Book Vinyl Box Set. Blue, Green, Red, White, Black, and Teal all together in one place. 6 LPs on colored vinyl, 72 original illustrations by Alec Longstreth, 6 color markers (including one magic marker. Use it on the cover & vinyl jackets to reveal hidden surprises!), and it’s even Karlification certified.”

Though they didn’t explain the “Karlification certified” bit, it adds just the right touch of Weezer-esque whimsy to the package.

The Excitement Continues: Early Demos Album Coming in 2026

As if this celebration wasn’t enough, Weezer teased another treat for die-hards. Earlier this month, they announced the upcoming release of a newly-unearthed album titled 1192, set to drop on Record Store Day 2026. This album is a time capsule of the band’s earliest days, featuring demos and rarities from their November 1992 sessions — basically the soundtrack to their formation.

Founding bassist Matt Sharp stumbled upon these “lost-album” master tapes, breathing new life into early recordings of classics like Say It Ain’t So and Undone (The Sweater Song). These demos were pivotal, landing Weezer their deal with Geffen Records back in ’93.

The album has been lovingly remixed from tape to vinyl using a fully analog process, with Sharp producing and Joe Chiccarelli mixing — a dream team for keeping that raw, authentic Weezer sound intact. Only 3,000 copies will be available on April 18, making it a holy grail for collectors.

Reflecting on Weezer’s Early Days

It’s impossible to talk about Weezer’s anniversary without appreciating the journey that started with The Blue Album. I remember chatting with Rivers Cuomo back in 2024, when he opened up about those formative years:

“The one thing that struck me was how physically close we all were, not just the four of us, but there was a whole crowd of young men, packed into very small apartments in a very small part of Los Angeles, who were just constantly hanging out and talking, debating and discussing music and style, and we didn’t even have television sets back then so there was very little to distract us. And obviously we had no wives, children or girlfriends.”

This tight-knit community and single-minded dedication clearly forged the sound that resonated with millions.

Cuomo also shared his personal feelings about that debut:

“When we released the ‘Blue’ album, I definitely felt like it was the greatest album of all time. I figured there was a chance I was wrong, but to me, it was my favourite album of all time and I assumed other people would feel the same way.”

That kind of passion is infectious, and it’s why this anniversary feels more like a reunion with an old friend than just a commercial release.

A Final Note on Weezer’s Anniversary Gift to Fans

This vinyl box set isn’t just a collection; it’s a celebration of evolution, creativity, and the enduring love Weezer’s fans have shared for over three decades. Whether you’re dusting off your turntable or diving into coloring those intricate artworks, this release is a treasure trove for anyone who's ever felt a connection to Weezer’s music and colorful personality.
