Звукозаписывающий лейбл Matador Records отмечает 15-летие со дня своего основания. В честь праздника компания выпускает сборник из трех дисков, на который войдут как самые лучшие песни из коллекции лейбла, так и раритеты. В числе самых известных артистов лейбла значатся такие исполнители, как Interpol, Mogwai и Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

На первый диск вошли песни Interpol, Cat Power, Стивена Малкмуса (Stephen Malkmus), Yo La Tengo, Guided By Voices, Mission Of Burma, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Belle & Sebastian и других. Второй включает раритеты от New Pornographers, Pretty Girls Make Graves, GBV, Mogwai, Matmos. Третий диск - это DVD с дюжиной клипов.

Все композиции были записаны в период с 1999 по 2004 годы, так что сборник станет своего рода продолжением аналогичных предыдущих компиляций «What's Up Matador» (1997 год) и «Everything Is Nice» (1999 год).
