What their label says...
Every month for the last six months, Matador Records have been
releasing a limited 7” by Jay Reatard. This collection features all six
singles and is compiled in chronological order.
Jay Reatard’s 7”s
have generated more and more attention with each release, but each one
has been put out in a progressively more limited run, starting with
3,500 worldwide for single #1 and ending with only 400 copies of single
#6. Each release has differed from the last (be it on clear and
coloured vinyl, a split 7” or a picture disc) and all have sold out
instantly upon release.
‘Matador Singles ’08’ not only caters for
those who aren’t so bothered about collecting and those who missed out
on the 7”s the first time round - it is also an outstanding album in
its own right.
Every song is a perfect snarling pop-punk gem, but
the collection evolves interestingly (and erratically) from punk to
pop. As Pitchfork said on the subject, “In this short space of time,
Reatard has cranked out more memorable songs than some acts do in their
whole careers.”
