{"product_id":"jad-fair-yo-la-tengo-strange-but-true-green","title":"Jad Fair \u0026 Yo La Tengo - Strange But True [Green]","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the '90s, Jad Fair had five favorite bands and songwriters: Daniel Johnston, The Pastels, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, and Yo La Tengo. It's a good list, sure, but what's most remarkable about it is that, in the course of a dozen years or so, Fair made music with all of them in one form or another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJad Fair has been prolific for half a century now, long before the Internet could create a simultaneous and seemingly eternal archive of everything someone with his predilections made. He's been involved in several hundred titles, at least, many of them out-of-print on tiny labels that do not exist anymore. In fact, one of those collaborations that Fair made in the '90s-Strange But True, with Yo La Tengo-has been hard to find, despite it's stateside release on October 20th 1998, by Matador Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time, the album is being reissued on vinyl by Joyful Noise and Bar\/None. By the time Fair played a party with Yo La Tengo in the mid-'90s, they were all friends, fans, and collaborators, having worked on or released records together. When Fair suggested they all head into the studio, the trio bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result, Strange But True, is as wonderful, varied, and wild as some enormous lawn of native grasses. This collaborative album showcases the aritsts' uncanny range, bringing us back to a time when indie rock was still free to be as weird and unruly as it's makers wanted it to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54211750920521,"sku":"602309900533","price":0.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4465310-3463792.jpg?v=1776397177","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/jad-fair-yo-la-tengo-strange-but-true-green","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
