You are bidding on a sealed, clear Gonerfest special edition copy of Jay Reatard Matador Singles '08 released in 2008 on Matador Records (Ole 822-1).  Limited to 300 copies.  I am selling this version because I already have the normal version.  RIP Jay.

Why am I selling my records?  I run a label and am trying to put out my first LP.  Help me and the band make our dreams come true by buying my records.  Thanks!

Review by Tim Sendra

Jay Reatard had another busy year in 2008. His new deal with Matador led him to release 7" singles throughout the first two-thirds of the year. Matador Singles '08 collects all of them and adds a bonus track. If you've been following Jay for a while you sort of know what to expect from the songs, and that's lo-fi blasts of a unique concoction made up of raw garage rock and jittery post-punk, topped with sharp hooks and Reatard's yowling vocals. You can also expect to find him a further step away from the nearly uncontrolled wildness of previous records and projects with a more measured and often, dare it be said, mature approach. Amazingly, many of the songs feature acoustic guitars and a relaxed vocal delivery; the "No Time"/"You Were Sleeping" single even sounds like a sleepy but lovely update on the Buddy Holly sound. Other tracks, like the opening "See Saw" or "Painted Shut," show the Go-Betweens influence that was made clear by the cover of that group's "Don't Let Him Come Back" on a previous single, and you can't get much more mature than that. The restraint shown on most of the songs doesn't mean that the level of excitement has diminished or that the record doesn't jump out of the speakers and slap you around a bit like previous Reatard projects. Thanks to his electric vocals, enthusiastic guitar work, and the raucous rhythms provided by the other two dudes in the band (though it's not clear if they played on the singles or if it was all Jay), there's enough rock & roll energy here to power a small town. Take "Always Wanting More" or "Hiding Hole" out for a spin if you're worried that Reatard is too grown up and has left his wild side behind. What makes the collection, and the direction Reatard seems to be heading, so good is that he is growing musically without leaving behind the fierce intensity and savage power that got him where he is. It's a difficult balancing act to manage but he makes it look pretty simple. Now if only he would do something about those album covers.....

Payment: I accept $ in the form of Paypal.  Payment should be received within 5 days of the auction end or I relist the item, non-paying bidder notice, you know the score.  No cash, no checks, no beads, no rupies. 

Shipping & Insurance:

$4.00 for Media Mail or $8.00 for Priority in the continental USA (add $1.50 for each additional record).

International Bidders: I can ship to you except for Italy.  Sorry Italy!

$9.00 for Canada and Mexico (add $1.50 for each additional record)

Record will be mailed out in a record mailer with the vinyl outside of the jacket unless the record is sealed.  I can combine shipping if you win multiple auctions from the same week.  Not free, but cheaper.  Insurance is available per standard USPS rates.  Insurance for international bidders may be available but I will have to declare the exact cost of the item on the custom's form.  I have never had a package lost by the USPS in my 10+ years of buying and selling on eBay but I realize that it does happen.  Buy insurance if you are concerned!

Buyer assumes all shipping fees and custom's fees or any such taxes your country may impose upon your package.

Turnaround: I will ship out your record within 1 to 5 business days after you pay.  Usually sooner. I will be listing records for the next few weeks.  Let me know if you are bidding on more stuff so I don't ship out your records early.  Doing so negates the lesser charge of adding an additional record!

Feedback: if you have 0 or less for your feedback I will cancel your bid.

Terms: by bidding on my auction you agree to the above terms.  If you don't plan on paying, don't bid.  About 10% of my auctions never get paid for, that's not good times.  eBay should be all about good times and I'm fairly easy to deal with.  You sending me an email can usually sort out a problem.  I will do my best to answer your questions.

Good luck, have a day and thanks for looking
