Jay Reatard & Matador

After months of public speculation, late night phone calls and a fascinating thread on a bulletin board other than our own, we’re pleased to announce Matador will be releasing six limited edition singles in 2008 by the wildly prolific Jay Reatard.
Manufactured quantities of each single will diminish with each successive release. We’ve not figured out the exact scheme yet, but given our commitment to the customer-always-being-angry, rest assured the numbers will be lower than you’d like.
For those not nearly hung up on the collector skum scenery, all 6 7″‘s will be compiled for a subsequent CD and LP release.
Jay’s blog can be found here. His myspace page, here. We’ll have some real info about this early in the new year.
