For the blues collector who takes Tinsley Ellis seriously: this page brings together his Alligator Records catalog in both vinyl and CD, including colored pressings, live recordings, and studio albums spanning the full arc of his career.
The collection covers twelve titles across both formats. On vinyl, Labor Of Love is here on a colored pressing, Devil May Care on translucent red, and Naked Truth on gold. On CD, you will find Speak No Evil, Fire It Up, Winning Hand, Storm Warning, Moment of Truth, Devil May Care, Naked Truth, and the live set Live! Highwayman, all on Alligator Records.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of blues, roots, and improvisational music since 1974. That history shapes how we stock the store: we carry artists whose work rewards close listening, and Tinsley Ellis fits that standard completely. Alongside catalog titles from artists like Ellis, 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 pick what to carry, we are thinking about the listener who wants the music in the right format, not just any format.
Every title here is new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date and ship when the label releases them. CDs ship in protective packaging.
If this page is your entry point, there is more to explore. The Blues Vinyl Records collection puts Ellis in the company of the wider blues catalog we carry. The Live Vinyl Albums and Records collection is worth a look for anyone drawn to the Live! Highwayman disc and wanting more live documentation on vinyl. And the Colored Vinyl Records and Limited Variants collection is where to go if the translucent red Devil May Care or the gold Naked Truth pressing caught your eye and you want to keep browsing colored vinyl across the full catalog.
