Relix Records Discography

This is a discography of recordings released on the Relix Records label.

Relix Records was started in the early 1980s by Leslie Kippel, following a suggestion by Robert Hunter, as an outlet for San Francisco musicians. The first Relix releases were Robert Hunter LPs. Other Grateful Dead members to feature on the label over the years include Garcia as a member of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Bob Weir with Kingfish and Tom Constanten with a series of solo releases.

The parent Relix company changed hands in 2002 and since that time Relix Records releases have been out of print.

Relix Magazine can be found online at http://www.relix.com/.
