For the listener who has spent years with Excitable Boy on the turntable and still thinks Zevon is one of the most underrated writers American rock ever produced, this page collects vinyl LPs, double LPs, and CDs across his catalog.
The selection runs from studio cornerstones to live documents. Excitable Boy is here on red vinyl from Friday Music. Life'll Kill Ya appears in two pressings: blue and clear, both from Friday Music. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressed Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School on both LP and CD. Rhino contributes Mr. Bad Example, Mutineer, and the live 2xLP Learning to Flinch (Live), along with the career overview A Quiet Normal Life: The Best of Warren Zevon. New West Records brings Preludes in both a 2xLP with booklet and a 2xCD edition. Omnivore Recordings rounds things out with Epilogue: Live at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival on 2xLP, a late-career live recording that holds up on its own terms.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of rock, folk, and the artists who refuse easy categorization since 1974. Zevon fits that world precisely: a songwriter whose records attracted serious listeners and whose live performances rewarded attention. The store reflects the same editorial instincts as the magazine, stocking titles worth owning rather than filling space. Alongside catalog like this, 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 colored pressing or a Mobile Fidelity edition, it is because the format adds something to the listening experience, not because it photographs well.
Every title in this collection is 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.
If Zevon sits at the center of a broader dig through American rock and its adjacent territory, the store has more ground to cover. Browse Live Vinyl Albums for concert recordings across the catalog, Rock Vinyl Records for the wider genre, Colored Vinyl Records and Limited Variants for pressings like the red and blue editions here, and Americana, Folk and Country Vinyl Records for the roots side of what Zevon was doing.
