Matador @ 20 Box Set

The label's 21st anniversary Matador at 21 box set. The limited-edition box contains five CDs documenting the history of the label with remastered songs released from 1989 through 2010, and one CD of unreleased live recordings from the Matador 10th Anniversary concerts in New York City in 1999. These were recorded to multitrack via the Rolling Stones Mobile Truck and not mixed down until now. The set comes in a blue-grey foil-stamped linen-bound box. The six CDs sit in custom digipaks. An 85-page perfect-bound book documents the history of the label with essays, photos, ephemera, emails and more. In addition, the box holds 36 custom Matador poker chips in three values. All proceeds from the set will go to benefit three charities chosen by the label owners, The Jane Addams Hull House Association, a Chicago, IL non-profit that's been assisting the city's neediest families (child welfare, domestic violence prevention, literacy-advocacy, etc.) since 1889. The Ali Forney Center (NYC-based provider of shelter and counseling for homeless gay, lesbian and transgender youth). The Heart Institute at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (non-profit public hospital and a world leader in pediatric lifesaving). The artists have graciously agreed to donate their royalties as well in order to make this all possible.
