Matador at 21 Tickets

Matador at 21 is a curated 2010 six-CD box set from Matador Records that marks the label’s 21st anniversary. The collection blends five remastered discs from Matador’s catalog with a sixth disc featuring previously unreleased live material from the 1999 10th anniversary shows. Accompanying the music are an 85-page book and 36 custom Matador poker chips, all packaged to celebrate a pivotal era in indie rock. Proceeds benefited Jane Addams Hull House Association, Ali Forney Center, and the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
