Official Black Vinyl

The timeless standard. Black vinyl remains the benchmark for quality and tradition — pressed to perfection for decades, offering the most consistent playback and durability. Essential for every collection.

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.
