Why it's worth noting
Revisionist History releases are Matador's way of formalizing catalog gaps — records that mattered but never got a proper physical run in a given format. For longtime followers of Solex's work, or collectors tracking Matador's catalog, this fills one of those gaps. Beyond the Instagram announcement and the tag #matadorrevisionisthistory, no further details have been shared yet. Anyone interested should check the pre-order link in Matador's Instagram bio directly for current details.
