In celebration of the band's 30th anniversary, Yo La Tengo have announced a reissue of their 1993 Matador LP Painful. It's called Extra Painful and is out December 2 on the same label, in 2xLP and 2xCD formats. These deluxe editions of the record will include demos, unreleased studio takes, live acoustic recordings, and other related tracks. The "Shaker" single will also be reissued on 7" vinyl (included with the 2xLP). See the tracklistings here.
The reissued is packaged with the first YLT Gazette newsletter in 14 years, liner notes by the band and "semi-trusted advisers," photos, ephemera, a remake of the band's original "band-aid" sticker and more.

On the Matablog, the band's Ira Kaplan says, "Anyone who ever said they liked our older records more than Painful, I just told them they’re wrong."
Those who pre-order the CD or LP versions (and answer a trivia question) will be entered to win tickets to one of Yo La Tengo's upcoming 30th Anniversary gigs at Town Hall in New York (see their tour dates, below), plus copies of all the the band's in-print LPs. The band also has a few dates lined up in which they'll perform a live soundtrack to Sam Green's film The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller.
