This page is for the collector who knows the difference between a standard black pressing and the color variant that only independent record stores carry. Every title here is an indie exclusive, meaning the color, the pressing, or both are available only through the independent retail channel.
All fourteen titles are here. Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton's live 2xLP Live At The Legion arrives on a tri-color red, white, and blue pressing. Greensky Bluegrass marks their 25th anniversary with XXV on a fruit punch 2xLP. Mavis Staples's Sad & Beautiful World comes on marbled violet vinyl. Neil Young with Crazy Horse appears three times: Early Daze on clear vinyl, World Record on clear 2xLP, and the four-disc Official Release Series Discs 13, 14, 20 & 21. Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts' Talkin To The Trees is also here on clear vinyl. Chelsea Wolfe's The Dark is pressed on translucent dark grass green vinyl and includes a signed insert. Joey Badass's 1999 is a 2xLP indie exclusive. Lambchop's Punching the Clown is on frosted clear vinyl. Suki Waterhouse's Loveland comes on red vinyl with a poster. Manslaughter 777's God's World is on orange vinyl via Thrill Jockey. El Michels Affair's 24 Hr Sports is pressed on red vinyl. John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band's Leftover Feelings arrives on blue marble vinyl.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the Grateful Dead, Phish, and the wider jam and roots world since 1974. That depth of coverage informs how we stock the store. The Relix Sessions series documents live performances from artists in that same tradition, and the sensibility carries into what ends up on these shelves. When a label presses a color variant for independent retail, we look for the records that fit the world the magazine covers and the wider catalog that surrounds it. That means you will find bluegrass, Americana, rock, and soul sitting alongside each other here, because that is how the music actually fits together.
Records are new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date and ship when the label releases them. Vinyl ships in protective packaging built for LPs.
To keep browsing, the New Releases & Pre-Orders page covers the full incoming slate across formats. For color variants in a specific genre, Rock Vinyl Records and Americana, Folk & Country Vinyl Records let you narrow from there.
