Originally released in 1990, Yo La Tengos Fakebook is considered by many to be among their best efforts. It is Yo La Tengo Unplugged working out on a handful of originals and a number of obscure would-be hits like The Kinks Oklahoma U.S.A., John Cales Andalucia and the Flamin Groovies You Tore Me Down. Their song The Summer and their brilliant take of Daniel Johnstons Speeding Motorcycle proved to be the band’s first alternative chart hits. Featuring guitar work by Dave Schramm and production by Gene Holder (The dBs).
