The National Vinyl Records & CDs

For listeners who have followed The National from the slow burn of Boxer through the orchestral sprawl of I Am Easy To Find, this page collects their studio records and live documents in vinyl and CD formats.

The selection covers a decade and a half of 4AD releases. On vinyl: Trouble Will Find Me as a 2xLP, High Violet as a 2xLP, I Am Easy To Find as a 2xLP, Sleep Well Beast as a 2xLP pressed on white vinyl, Laugh Track as a 2xLP, and First Two Pages of Frankenstein as a standard LP. On CD: Boxer Live In Brussels, Rome as a 2xCD, Laugh Track, Trouble Will Find Me, and First Two Pages of Frankenstein. That is most of the catalog in one place, across both formats.

Why buy from Relix

Relix has covered the intersection of rock, roots, and adventurous songwriting since 1974. The store reflects the same sensibility as the magazine: titles we actually care about, from artists whose records reward repeated listening. Alongside studio albums and live documents like Boxer Live In Brussels, the store carries the Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label. When we stock a title, it is because it belongs in a serious collection, not because an algorithm suggested it.

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 designed for LPs. CDs ship in protective packaging.

If The National is a gateway into a wider world of thoughtful rock and indie songwriting, the store has more to explore. Browse Indie Rock & Pop Vinyl & CDs for related artists across both formats, or narrow to Rock Vinyl Records for LP-only browsing. Fans of Boxer Live In Brussels and other concert documents will find more in Live Vinyl Albums & Records. And if the white vinyl pressing of Sleep Well Beast caught your eye, Colored Vinyl Records & Limited Variants is the place to keep looking.
