A: They’re all long sold out…or are they?
After a serious stockroom organization that perhaps only Virgos would fully appreciate, we have assembled a handful of copies of each of these long-deleted releases and they are now available again on the Matinée order page. Included here are long-lost releases from Bella Vista, Brighter, Ego, The Fairways, Harper Lee, The Lucksmiths, Math and Physics Club and more so if you’re after one of them, please place your order soon as these are the last known copies of each of these gems and there are no further surprises left in the stockroom. And no, we didn’t find any copies of the ‘R is for Razorcuts’ compilation. Sorry!
While we’re at it, the stockroom also contained some nice rarities from Roundabout Records, the mailorder we used to run in Washington, DC before starting the record label. There are releases from top indie labels of the day like Apricot, Bus Stop, Clover, Elefant, Drive In, Firestation Tower, Fortuna POP!, Labrador, Marina, Marsh Marigold, North of No South, Sarah, Shelflife, Shinkansen, Siesta, Soap, Subway, Vinyl Japan, A West Side Fabrication, WIAIWYA and more, and they were boxed up nearly a decade ago when the mailorder stopped. Needless to say some of these records are long deleted but while you’re picking up some Matinée rarities you might just want some of these too. You can see the complete list here and of course we’re happy to combine everything in one shipment.
Lots of Matinée titles are now on sale too so please see the order page for details.
If it’s digital downloads you’re after, you’ll be happy to hear that even more Matinée titles are now up on iTunes, emusic, Amazon mp3, Insound and other select digital shops. We are still working on a few back catalog titles but most other releases are now live so get downloading!
