Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of psychedelic rock, improvisation, and the artists who refuse easy category since 1974. Primus has always occupied that intersection with a particular stubbornness, and we stock their catalog because it belongs alongside the music this magazine has tracked for fifty years. The Relix store also carries the Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label. When we choose what to carry, the question is always whether it fits the world the magazine covers, not whether it moves units.
Every title 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.
Primus sits comfortably alongside the broader catalog available through the Relix store. Explore Rock Vinyl Records for related titles, Colored Vinyl Records and Limited Variants for more pressed editions like the Gold and Midnight Rainbow Splatter pressings here, Live Vinyl Albums and Records for concert documents, and Metal and Punk Vinyl Records for music that shares some of the same edge.
