Kapanlagi.com - The Matraman album by The Upstairs has been around for 20 years since its initial release. Jimi Multhazam, the vocalist of The Upstairs, reminisces about how this album was created with full exploration, even though their musical knowledge at that time was still limited.
"Matraman is indeed an album that we can say we did just for fun, with basic knowledge. What we wanted was just the exploration, we still didn’t know much at that time," said Jimi at the Demajors office, Wednesday (12/3/2025).
As an album born from experimentation, Matraman actually received a positive response from listeners. The songs within it have become favorites for many and are still being listened to today.
"Including Hajar Bleh, thank God many people like it. So we really want new things, we want to break out of the routine," said Jimi.
This vinyl album is planned to be re-released by Demajors. According to Jimi, this release will undergo some changes in the artwork.
"Demajors said they will reissue the Matraman album. Reissuing for the second time at Demajors with improved artwork," he explained.
Jimi also recalls how the previous vinyl release sold very well in the market. When it was first released, the demand was so high that the stock ran out almost immediately.
"The demand for the Matraman album at Demajors was really magical. In just one hour, it was completely sold out, and the line was very long," said Jimi.
In fact, the price of the vinyl album has soared sharply in the collector's market. Initially sold for Rp350 thousand, the next day someone was already selling it for Rp3 million in Blok M.
"So on the second day, it was already being sold in Blok M for 3 million," Jimi revealed.
Jimi himself did not expect the Matraman vinyl to be valued that high. According to him, this is a form of appreciation from fans who still love the album to this day.
