Super Mega Yo La Tengo Part 3

Well, I think we have all the "regular" issue LP/CD's posted......now's to the fun stuff, the more rare and essoteric releases, and, sister Christian, there are a LOT of them.

I think this portion will feature the compilation albums which feature rarities, and this and that......fans of a band such as this will swoon for such stuff, and there is some wonderful material here.Why not begin with the three disc "Prisoners of Love (A Smattering of Scintillating Senescent Songs, 1985-2003)".....what these discs feature are TONS of rare tracks from our heroes, I'm not gonna list em all here (that is what the track list is for), check these out, there is some overlap, but it is outweighed by the unearthed gems you will locate here.....feel free to preprogram if you wish,

Next up is the classic "Yo La Tengo Is Murdering the Classics", the title says it all.... Oh, my God.... a sampling: "The Night Chicago Died"... "The Hokey Pokey".... "Oh! Sweet Nuthin!"... "Roundabout"... "Raw Power"... "Murdering" is the correct terminology, and this essential album should be on your shelf yesterday. hilarious and listenable at once, this one is a MUST. Seriously, one of the most hilarious albums ever created, many have TRIED, but NONE have pulled it off to this point of perfection.

"They Shoot We Score" is an album of soundtrack work the band has done, I REALLY enjoy this one for some reason, the existing versions of the old standards are MUCH different, and there is music they contributed to four different films.......this is a fine album, don't miss it, the short version of "Spec Bebop" is almost worth the price of admission.

"Genius + Love= Yo La Tengo" is a wonderful two disc set or rarities, alternates, outtakes, and is a must have for fans of this band........WONDERFUL stuff here ("The Blitzkreig Bop"? "Surfing With the Shah?")......another winner, by now you know whether this band is "for you" or not (obviously, they are for ME), but if they are for you, this rarities double disc is no question  essential to your collection as well.

OK, I am trying to work quickly, if I forget something I'll stick it on the end or something...... these are great comps that ANY self-respecting Yo La Tengo fan MUST have, tomorrow, I will get to some live stuff, and a bunch of EP's also......this is one of America's great underappreciated indie bands, they are great and let us PLEASE recognize them as such!
