title: weezer - maladroit sampler cd
label: none
id #: -
released: march, 2002
format: cd
songs: dope nose, keep fishin', fall together, death and destruction, slob, slave, take control, december
notes: sent by band to radio stations and retailers in March 2002 to get a head start on promoting the new album. Was later asked by Geffen to ask radio not to play it yet, but radio had already taken a liking to many of the songs. No less than 3 pressings exist, each with a different mix of 'Dope Nose' and possibly "keep Fishin'". No identifying marks make it hard to tell the different pressings apart.

title: weezer - Canadian maladroit promo cd
label: Geffen
id #: UMCF-04710-2
released: early May, 2002
format: cd
songs: american gigalo, dope nose, keep fishin', take control, death and destruction, slob, burndt jamb, space rock, slave, fall together, possibilities, love explosion, december
notes: sent by label to retailers for promotional purposes, shortly before albums release. This Canadian advance promo cd was sent out about 6 weeks before the album was released. This edition had no artwork, was issued in a plain white sleeve. Oddly, "Dope Nose" is misspelled "Dope Noise" on this release! Undoubtedly a very rare promo. "manufactured and distributed in Canada by universal music"

notes: weezer's first "e.p." [Extended Play single] release. contains songs recorded live during the Japan World Cup Tour in May 2002. Originally intended as a summer EP, became a 'back to school' release due to scheduling changes. Limited to 25,000 copies, a US-only release. All 25,000 copies individually numbered on back cover. Death and Destruction is the same recording as heard on the Keep Fishin' UK Maxi CD single#1
special note: the numbering of the cd's went up to the 33,000's because a large number of the sleeves were defective and were recycled in the printing process [over 8000 copies]. so they kept printing and numbering as they went till they had a total quantity of 25,000... though the numbering got into the 34,000's.
