Item description: Weezer-themed vinyl killer Release date: unknown (2002 or later) Type: Vinyl killer Brand: Vacuum Records Country: Japan Identifier(s): N/A Notes: Year of release unknown, however the inclusion of Scott Shriner indicates a release during or after 2002. A 2005 release year is likely due to numerous factors, including: The inclusion of a dragon in the product's artwork, a common piece of imagery in merchandise and promotion around the release of 2005's Make Believe and subsequent touring. The Mos Burger Tour, the Japanese leg of the 2005 Make Believe Tour, which marked an increased band presence in the country. Unique packaging differing from other vinyl killers released by Vacuum Records in the late 90s and very early 2000s. A lack of references to this product on any Vacuum Records website or marketing through approximately 2003, indicating a later release. The obscure nature of the item's existence, making a release later than 2010 unlikely. The sole indication of its existence is the special 2018 Weezine issue Weezine Issue #15 - 2018 VIP Karl's Corner Experience Edition, where it is pictured alongside other obscure or notable Weezer items. Karl Koch has confirmed that the product was sold in Japan, although he notes that he has never seen one in the wild. The product is among numerous other themed vinyl killers sold by Vacuum Records, including releases featuring Beck, Marilyn Manson, and the Parappa the Rapper video game series.
