Ween's fans are eagerly awaiting a reunion, but for now, they can look forward to a special release. The band has announced an archival box set featuring previously unreleased studio and live recordings from 1990, titled 'Europe “90”. This collection promises to offer a unique glimpse into the band's early days, with long-lost studio sessions and a live recording considered by guitarist Mickey “Dean Ween” Melchiondo to be the best Ween show ever. The release is set for Record Store Day 2026, on April 18th, and will include studio recordings of songs like “Push the Lil’ Daises”, “Cover it with Gas and Set it on Fire”, “ALbano Sunburn Girl”, and “I Wuz Nothin’”, as well as a live performance from Basel, Switzerland, where the audience grew from zero to five people during the show. This release is a treat for fans, offering a rare opportunity to hear the band's early work and a live performance that is considered by many to be a highlight of their career. But it's not just about the music; it's also about the band's history and the impact they've had on the music scene. Ween's decision to step away from the stage in 2024 due to concerns for guitarist Dean Ween's mental health has left fans wondering about the band's future. Despite this, the band has continued to release music and engage with their fans, and the 'Europe “90” box set is a testament to their enduring legacy. So, while a full reunion may not be on the cards just yet, this release is a reminder of the band's talent and the impact they've had on the music scene. And who knows, maybe it will spark a new wave of excitement and curiosity among fans, leading to a future reunion. Long live Ween!
