In today's challenging economic circumstances, are you looking for ways to stretch your buck? Apart from the much-ballyhooed siphoning of gas or the annoyingly-named "staycation," In the Red Records has a new way to help you save. If you've been blowing money on early Jay Reatard 7-inches like they're going out of style (or out of print), listen up. In the Red has compiled out-of-print singles originally put out by labels like Stained Circles, P. Trash, Squoodge, Goner, and In The Red. Most of these 7-inches were released in limited presses of 500-3,000 copies. Entitled Singles 06-07, the compilation contains 17 singles and 4 live shows from Las Vegas, New York City, Philadelphia, and The Netherlands and will be released tomorrow, June 17.
In other Jay 7-inch related news, his 7-inch series for Matador has now been completely recorded and the third installment will be available June 24. Amounting to six releases in total, this new series will be compiled by Matador and put out on CD and LP in September. A new full-length is slated for early 2009. And if you just can't get enough Jay Reatard, well, it looks like he's coming to a town hear you very, very soon.
