知名日本藝術家奈良美智 YOSHITOMO NARA 前陣子在洛杉磯美術館 LACMA 舉辦了個展，當時邀請獨立搖滾樂團 Yo La Tengo 翻唱了彼此都喜歡的樂團/音樂人 Bob Dylan、The Byrds、The Flying Machine、The Delmore Brothers、Ronnie Lane 的作品，並做成黑膠收錄在當時販售的限量展覽目錄中；事隔幾個月這張作品宣布將在 10/9 獨立出來發行，造成世界唱片迷爭相恐的搶片，除了原收錄的五首翻唱曲目外，《Sleepless Night》此次的版本還收錄了一首 Yo La Tengo 的新歌〈Bleeding〉，而黑膠 B 面則有樂團成員 James 的蝕刻畫，收藏價值更加提升啊。
On October 9th, Matador Records will release Yo La Tengo Sleepless Night -- a six-song EP with one new tune (“Bleeding”) plus covers of songs by The Byrds, The Delmore Brothers, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Lane, and The Flying Machine.
The tracks on Sleepless Night were initially released as one side of an LP included within a limited-edition catalogue (published by LACMA and DelMonico Books/Prestel) for the LACMA exhibition, Yoshitomo Nara, the first international retrospective for the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (b. 1959). A longtime YLT fan, Nara worked in collaboration with the group -- Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew -- to choose the EP songs.
This Matador version of the EP is a single-sided 12” with original cover art by Nara, a drawing of the band by Hubley, and an illustration by McNew etched on the record flip.
