"The UK-based classical label Nimbus is overseeing the digital and CD reissue of the Matchbox Bluesmaster Series, which debuted on vinyl in the 1980s. It was one of several reissue projects envisioned by Austrian collector Johnny Parth, whose goal was to bring to pre-war blues reissues the scholarly oversight ans completeness then largely associated with jazz ... Decades later, their accomplishment remains impressive. This six-CD set is the first of a promised complete run of the Matchbox series, seven such sets to be released between now and the summer of 2022".
