This page is for the listener who follows a label the way others follow a band, someone who knows that XL Recordings has been the return address on records that reshaped what independent music sounds like. There are 130 titles here, spanning vinyl LPs, CDs, and cassettes.
The catalog runs wide. Radiohead's KID A MNESIA arrives as a 3xLP set, and The Bends is here as a single LP. The xx's self-titled XX is on vinyl. Gil Scott-Heron's I'm New Here is pressed to LP. Adele's 21 is in the collection on vinyl. The Prodigy's Experience comes as a 2xLP, and Firestarter (Andy C Remix) is available as a vinyl LP. Fontaines D.C.'s Dopamine Chamber is here in three versions: a blue vinyl LP, a standard black LP, and a CD. Standing On The Corner's Sotc II is on vinyl LP. Peggy Gou's I Hear You is available as a 2xCD. Ratatat's self-titled debut and Radiohead's The King Of Limbs are both in the CD format. Jim Legxacy's Homeless Ngga Pop Music is stocked on both LP and CD.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of music and community since 1974, with reporting that goes deeper than the chart cycle. The store reflects that same attention: we carry titles because the music holds up, not because an algorithm surfaced them. The Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label, sits alongside catalog releases from labels like XL because the same ear selects both. When a pressing matters, we say so. When it does not, we do not invent a reason to make it sound special.
All records are 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.
If XL Recordings is a starting point rather than a destination, there is more to explore. The store's Electronic Vinyl and CDs collection covers the label's dance and electronic catalog alongside work from across that world. Indie Rock and Pop Vinyl and CDs places XL's guitar-driven records in a broader independent context. And the CDs collection gathers compact disc titles from across the store for anyone who still plays them, which is more people than the conversation suggests.
