Weezer fans in for special treat

In response to such artists as U2, Destiny’s Child and Jewel, who have issued limited-edition releases for sale exclusively at chain outlets, Weezer will release 25,000 copies of a seven-song EP this summer that will only be available at independent mom-and-pop record stores around the country, according to the band’s official Web site.

The disc, “The Lion and the Witch”, named after the C.S. Lewis children’s fantasy book “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” was mostly recorded live during the band’s recent Japanese tour. While the track list has not yet been determined, the EP will definitely include a new studio version of “Keep Fishin'” recorded at the end of the tour, and a ghost track of the previously unreleased “Polynesia.” The band will soon be hitting the studio to record its next record.
