Condo Fucks aka Bo Ra Flengo aka Yo La Tengo - releasing new album, playing 92Y Tribeca w/ Delocated's Jon Glaser
"Legendary New London, CT trio the Condo Fucks returned to the stage last March after a long absence from the Tri-State Area's concert circuit. A secretive Hoboken rehearsal was recorded and is being released March 24, 2009 by Matador as the LP/CD, Fuckbook.The Condo Fucks are known by many names, and for many things. One such thing is comedy and one such name is Bo Ra Flengo. Tickets are on sale a March 19th NYC show at 92Y Tribeca with Jon Glaser, Eugene Mirman and more.Eschewing such Condo Fucks originals as 'Fuckin' Gary Sandy' and 'Let's Get Rid Of New Haven', the trio - Georgia Condo (drums), Kid Condo (guitar), and James McNew (bass) - instead tear through covers of The Small Faces, Richard Hell, Beach Boys, Electric Eels, Troggs, Flaming Groovies and Slade classics in the style that previously won them so much acclaim from the Nutmeg State's music journalists and radio programmers all those years ago.
In the go-go 1990s, the Condo Fucks released 4 titles on the Matador label, some of which were prominently advertised on the inner sleeve of Yo La Tengo's I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One. Sadly, these titles are long out of print and we are unable to provide the media with copies." [Matador Records]

We dispatched a pair of Savage Detectives to the Whaling City this past weekend in search of information regarding these elusive Condo Fucks. Not only does there appear to be no-such-Condo-Fucks, it appears that this elaborate ruse was nothing more than an opportunistic attempt by a desperate band from Hoboken, NJ to tap into New London’s true-blue cred. Shame on you, Yo La Tengo!
Long live the Whaling City! Fuck the Condo Fucks!

Found a few of the old Condo Fucks albums - where can I find the rest?
Also looking for other than vinyl format - any 8 tracks available?
