Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered jazz as it connects to improvisation, roots, and the wider world of music since 1974. That long view shapes what ends up in the store. The Relix Sessions series represents live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label, and that same attention to what actually sounds good informs how we stock labels like Candid. These are not filler titles. Candid built its reputation on documenting musicians in serious settings, and the titles here reflect that.
All records 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.
