For the listener who still reaches for a disc: over 2,600 rock CDs spanning studio albums, live sets, and multi-disc box sets, chosen with the same ear Relix has brought to this music since 1974.
The selection runs wide and deep. Ween's Brown Box collects a decade of recordings across ten discs. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's Freak Out! (60th Anniversary) Super Deluxe Box Set arrives as a five-CD anniversary edition. The Allman Brothers' Final Concert 10-28-14 spreads across three discs on Peach Records. John Prine is represented several times over: The Singing Mailman Delivers (two CDs on Oh Boy Records), Souvenirs, Live on Tour, and In Person and On Stage. Tom Petty appears with both Greatest Hits on MCA and the two-CD Wildflowers and All the Rest on Warner Records. The Rolling Stones' Very Best of the Rolling Stones 1964-1971 on ABKCO sits alongside Pink Floyd's At Pompeii - MCMLXXII on Pink Floyd Records. Jerry Garcia and John Kahn's Garcialive Volume 14: January 27th 1986 The Ritz on Round Records brings the Dead world into the mix, and Rhino's Nuggets From Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era covers the garage and psych corner.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has been writing about rock, jam, and roots music since 1974, long before algorithms decided what counted as taste. The store reflects that history: we stock what our writers and editors actually care about, from canonical catalog titles to live documents that casual retailers overlook. The Relix Sessions series extends that commitment to vinyl, offering live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label. When we carry a title here, it is because it fits the world the magazine has covered for fifty years, not because it moved units somewhere else.
Every CD in this collection is new and factory sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date on the product page and ship when the label releases them into distribution. CDs ship in protective packaging.
If you want to keep exploring, CDs Straight from the Vault pulls together the broader CD catalog, while Rock Vinyl and CDs lets you browse the same territory across formats. For listeners who prefer a turntable, Rock Vinyl Records covers the same artists on wax, and Live Vinyl Albums and Records is the place for concert pressings specifically.
