Official Clear Vinyl

See the music. Clear vinyl editions showcase the beauty of the record itself, often used for exclusive or special releases. Collectable, modern, and a striking addition to any turntable.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official Pink Vinyl

Pink Vinyl brings a bold splash of colour to the format, often used for limited editions, special pressings, and exclusive releases. It adds a playful visual twist while keeping the focus on the music and the quality of the record itself. From contemporary releases to reissued classics, pink vinyl offers something a little more expressive than standard black. It’s a popular choice for collectors and fans who enjoy their records making a statement on the shelf as well as on the turntable.
