YO LA TENGO - Electr - O - Pura (Sealed) (LP)

Vinyl re-issue! Electr-O-Pura is a phenomenal record sandwiched between two masterpieces -- Painful and I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One. Song for song, it might not be the equal of those titans, but Electr-O-Pura represents a crucial step in further refining the group's sound and counts amongst its tracks some of the finest things the band has ever recorded. Anyone who can't enjoy "Tom Courtenay" -- arguably the best pure pop song YLT has given us -- is everyone you would never like to have over for dinner. Other highlights include the yearning "Pablo And Andrea" and the world historic showstopper "Blue Line Swinger," a live staple for years and one of the most exciting slow burns in rock history
