Official Double Vinyl

Twice the wax, double the depth. Double LPs spread music across two records to preserve sound quality and include bonus tracks, alternate takes, or extended mixes. A premium choice for albums that deserve more space to breathe.

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 LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.

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.
