Long Out-of-Print Yo La Tengo Album Re-Released on Pink & Red Vinyl

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo formed in 1984 Hoboken. The band’s eleventh studio album, in 2006, I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass, has been out-of-print for the last nine years. Now, via vinyl distributors Bandbox, the 15-track album is available again in a double-disc pink and red vinyl format. The second disc is actually a fanzine featuring the band’s insights into the original recording.

If you’re wondering about the title, it was lifted directly from a heated exchange in the NBA by two New York Knicks:  Tim Thomas and Stephon Marbury. One track—“Mr. Tough”—can be heard below.
