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.
