For listeners who came up on Alligator Records and know exactly what Albert Collins meant to the electric blues guitar, this page collects his records and CDs in one place.
The collection spans studio and live work across both formats. On vinyl, Ice Pickin' and Cold Snap are here as LPs on Alligator Records. On CD, the same catalog opens wider: Ice Pickin, Cold Snap, Frostbite, and Frozen Alive are all present alongside the Deluxe Edition, which pulls together a broader look at his recorded output. Rounding out the collection is Live From Austin, TX on CD from New West Records, a document of Collins working in front of an audience.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of blues, roots, and improvisational music since 1974. That history shapes what ends up in this store. The Relix Sessions series adds another dimension to what we carry: live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label. For an artist like Collins, whose reputation was built as much on live performance as on studio records, that commitment to the live document matters. Every title here is chosen because it belongs in a serious collection, not to fill a page.
All records and CDs are new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date on the product page and ship when the label releases them. CDs ship in protective packaging.
