According to CMJ:
A multi-album, worldwide deal is now officially in the can. The Matador singles that will roll out over this year (the first one is already out of print) will be compiled into a CD to be released this fall, and Reatard’s former label, In The Red, will be releasing another CD of his early solo singles in June. The first proper Matador album is projected to come out in early ’09.
