03/31/08 —“See Saw” b/w “Screaming Hand” Pre-Order TODAY
The first 7" in Jay Reatard’s singles series for Matador, “See Saw” b/w “Screaming Hand”, goes up for pre-order TODAY at 3pm Eastern Time. Because of the extremely limited quantity of this record we will only honor one copy per customer so plans to stockpile these and send your kids to college isn't going to work this time around. Also, once they're gone, they're gone so don't dilly-dally!!

02/15/08 — Coming April 8 - Jay Reatard “See Saw” b/w “Screaming Hand” 7″
The first 7″ in Jay Reatard’s singles series for Matador, “See Saw” b/w “Screaming Hand”, will be in shops April 8 (preorders available from us, soon). Recorded at Shattered Studios this past January, both songs are unlikely to disappoint those who’ve been pestering us EVERY FUCKING DAY with questions about when these singles are coming out. Sure, the customer-is-always-right. But the customer isn’t always polite. Is it really necessary to threaten a hardworking label general manager with bodily harm? Is there any acceptable reason for someone to leave me a voice mail stating “I know what you’re wearing and I’m watching you right now?”
OK, admittedly, that message came in several weeks before we announced we were working with Jay. But regardless, this is an awesome single that totally lives up to the crazily high standards Jay Reatard has set, and we fully expect it will quell your consumerist fury for at least a day before we start being threatened about single no. 2.

— Jay Reatard and Matador
(pic taken from Jimmybuttons’ Flickr
page)
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.
Singles will be in strictly limited editions. 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.
