Golden Nuggets is an unreleased compilation of Weezer songs compiled in 2001 by Karl Koch.

Overview

Golden Nuggets was to contain 17 tracks spanning 1993 to 2001, including seven then-unreleased songs. All of these recordings would eventually see release over the next decade, with "Getting Up and Leaving" and the "Longtime Sunshine" coda mix not appearing until 2011. Other songs came out as Green Album b-sides or on future retrospectives like Rivers Cuomo's Alone albums and the deluxe reissues of The Blue Album and Pinkerton.

As time went on and the band accrued an ever expanding library of unreleased tracks and rarities, Golden Nuggets became an anachronism, although several of the rarities chosen for it have still not been released to the public or bootlegged as of 2016.

By 2008, the idea of an album of unreleased material had changed into Odds And Ends, later released as Death to False Metal in 2011. That collection was curated and chosen by Rivers (in a few cases modifying the existing recordings to prepare them for release) and bears little resemblance to the track list of Golden Nuggets.

Most of the recordings intended for the album were released at the time or have been released since the track listing was compiled in 2001, with the exception of "Blast Off!", a recording done during the August and September 1995 sessions at Electric Lady Studios, and "Superfriend", which was likely wiped at some point between 1995 and the compilation of Pinkerton Deluxe in 2009.[2]

The compilation's title is similar to Dusty Gems & Raw Nuggets, the second disc of the Blue Album deluxe edition, which released in 2004.
