The 6xLP set features their 1994 debut, ‘The Blue Album’, ‘The Green Album’, ‘The Red Album’, ‘The White Album’, ‘The Black Album’ and ‘The Teal Album’, with the whole package serving as colouring book.
The set also features 72 original illustrations courtesy of Alec Longstreth and six coloured markers.
A deluxe version of the boxset, limited to 100 copies, is also available and includes a Weezer backpack and signed lithograph. You can pre-order the six LP and deluxe boxset here.
The Weezer webstore box sets will begin shipping on April 10 for US orders and June 26 for EU/UK orders.
Writing on Instagram alongside a short animated video, the Los Angeles band wrote: “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.”
It comes after the band announced earlier this month, that a newly-unearthed Weezer album consisting of early demos and rarities will be released on Record Store Day 2026.
The LP, entitled ‘1192’, is taken from the band’s early sessions in November 1992 upon formation. Founding bassist Matt Sharp discovered the record while looking through a series of “lost-album” master tapes.
The album is set to feature early demos of Weezer classics like ‘Say It Ain’t So’ and ‘Undone (The Sweater Song)’ – demos which would land them a record deal with Geffen in 1993.
With the help of Sharp as producer and Joe Chicarrelli on mixing, the record has been remixed from tape to vinyl in a fully analogue process. Three thousand copies will be made available to purchase on April 18. Check out the full list of Record Store Day 2026 releases here.
We last spoke to Weezer in 2024, when frontman Rivers Cuomo reflected on the making of their debut album, often referred to as ‘The Blue Album’.
“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,” he told NME at the time. “And obviously we had no wives, children or girlfriends.”
Cuomo added: “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.”
