Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of folk, roots, and exploratory music since 1974. That long view shapes what lands in the store. The Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label, reflects the same commitment to documenting artists in their element that has run through the magazine for five decades. When we stock a record, it is because it fits the conversation the magazine has been having with its readers for a long time, not because an algorithm surfaced it.
All titles are new and sealed. Pre-order titles show a street date on the product page and ship when the label releases them. Vinyl ships in protective packaging designed for LPs.
