yay you like matthew jay

Matthew Jay
Oct 10 1978 - September 24 2003 R.I.P.


15 July 2004 - matthewjay.com is happy to announce that the second album is now almost ready for release. The album, entitled MATTHEW JAY '...too soon,' will be available in August from selected online retailers (details to follow).


The album will serve both as an introduction to Matthew's music for new fans, and provide copies of early and rare recordings for those fans already bitten by the Jay 'bug'.


Due to popular demand, it has been decided that this album of rarities should precede the release of new material, as many of the early songs are still missing from the collections of fans around the world, especially in countries outside the UK. Therefore, Matthew's family have gathered together a specially selected collection of the songs that are harder to find, such as tracks from the EPs, and single flipsides. Together, these tracks form a great album.


Mattthew Jay '....too soon'. will have a limited release with retail entirely online. Proceeds from the sales of '...too soon' will hopefully fund production of a third album, featuring the exquisite recordings made shortly prior to Matthew's passing. So spread the word: the more albums that are sold, the sooner we all get to hear those wonderful songs!
