"Electr-O-Pura" is the seventh album by Hoboken, New Jersey indie rock group Yo La Tengo, released in 1995. The back of the CD case gives intentionally wrong running times leading many to think the running time is around 45 minutes. Also, it gives seemingly random alternate titles, listed in parentheses next to the primary titles, in the style of records released on the International Artists label.
