This page is for collectors who want the image and the music together on the same slab of wax: picture discs, where the artwork is pressed directly into the record itself.
The collection runs thirty titles across genres and eras. A few worth noting: the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia's Wake of the Flood picture disc on Grateful Dead Records, a pressing that puts the album's original artwork front and center. Lettuce's Elevate arrives as a picture disc bone 2LP. David Bowie's Hunky Dory is here as a limited edition picture disc from Rhino. *NSYNC's No Strings Attached marks its 20th anniversary in picture disc format on Sony Legacy. Type O Negative's October Rust comes as a picture disc LP. Marillion's Script for a Jester's Tear (Remixes) is pressed as a picture disc on Rhino. Steve Martin's King Tut is the RSD Black Friday 2024 picture disc pressing. The Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit original motion picture soundtrack arrives as a picture disc from Varese Sarabande, and Lily Allen's Alright Still is pressed as a 20th anniversary picture disc on WB/Parlophone.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the Grateful Dead, Phish, and the wider world of jam, rock, and roots music since 1974. That history shapes how we stock the store. The Relix Sessions series has put us in rooms with artists across decades, and that closeness to the music informs what ends up on these shelves. Picture discs in particular reward the kind of attention Relix readers already bring to their listening: the artwork matters, the pressing matters, the object itself matters. We stock titles from across the spectrum because the readers who grew up with Wake of the Flood are often the same people who want the film score or the anniversary reissue.
All records here 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 and Pre-Orders page tracks what is coming up across formats. If picture discs pulled you toward heavier territory, the Metal and Punk Vinyl collection has more to dig through, and the Rock Vinyl collection covers the broader range.
