The set is pressed on black vinyl, capturing a landmark celebration of the show's legacy.

Review: Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Ween's 1994 masterpiece Chocolate and Cheese is being reissued in a deluxe edition, released by Rhino. Originally hailed for its brilliant fusion of gonzo pop, the album shows Dean and Gene Ween's impressive songwriting and wide musical vocabulary. This edition features the original album recut from master tapes by Bernie Grundman, plus a bonus disc of 15 previously unreleased demos and outtakes curated by the duo. Chocolate and Cheese marked Ween's first professional studio album, evolving from their four-track-recorded roots. It traverses an eclectic mix of genres, from Philadelphia soul in 'Freedom of '76' to the country charm of 'Mister, Would You Please Help My Pony' and the AM-radio folk of 'Baby Bitch.' The album also includes controversial tracks like 'The HIV Song' and 'Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down),' alongside the energetic 'Voodoo Lady' and the synth-pop jam 'Roses Are Free.' The bonus material, including the bizarre 'Junkie Boy', offers a deeper dive into Ween's creative process, drawing from hundreds of hours of archival tapes. This extended version offers more of what you like about Ween.
