For the listener who knows that Mavis Staples sits at the center of gospel, soul, and American roots music, this page collects her records and CDs in one place: new pressings, colored variants, live sets, and anniversary editions, all chosen by the people who have been writing about this music since 1974.
The collection spans a decade and a half of her Anti- catalog and beyond. Sad & Beautiful World is here in three formats: a standard black LP, a CD, and an indie exclusive marbled violet colored LP. We'll Never Turn Back: 15th Anniversary Edition arrives on aqua blue vinyl. Live In London spreads across a 2xLP set. Livin' On A High Note and If All I Was Was Black round out the Anti- studio records. On the CD side, Have a Little Faith on Alligator Records and I'll Take You There: An All-Star Concert Celebration on Blackbird Production fill out the shelf. We Get By completes the vinyl run. Whether you are filling gaps or upgrading a worn copy, the titles are here.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of soul, gospel, Americana, and live music since 1974. That history shapes what ends up in the store: records that matter to the community, not algorithmic filler. The store is also home to the Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label. When we stock a colored pressing or an anniversary edition, it is because the music earns it, not because the packaging does.
Every record and CD here is new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date on the product page and ship when the label releases them. Vinyl ships in protective packaging designed for LPs. CDs ship in protective packaging.
If this page opened a door, keep walking. Funk, Soul & R&B Vinyl Records goes deep into the genre. Americana, Folk & Country Vinyl Records covers the roots side. Live Vinyl Albums & Records is where Live In London has company. And Colored Vinyl Records & Limited Variants collects every pressing worth owning for the color alone.
