Various - Jazz Dispensary: Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights (Record Store Day)

• Available May 8th, 2026

Ten years ago this month, Craft Recordings launched Jazz Dispensary - a homegrown imprint that curates mind-expanding, high-grade sounds drawn from the finest strains of jazz, funk, soul, and beyond. What began as a cult vinyl series in 2016 - launching with the sought-after Cosmic Stash box set on Record Store Day - soon evolved into a destination for curious and discerning listeners worldwide, through limited-edition compilations, rare album reissues, partnerships, playlists, and events.

To mark the brand’s tenth anniversary, the musical sommeliers at Jazz Dispensary are paying homage to the release that started it all with Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights. The limited-edition set selections from the original Cosmic Stash, culled from each of the 4-LP collection’s “blends” (Soul Diesel, Purple Funk, OG Kush, and Astral Travelin’).

Inspired by some of modern music’s most iconic drum breaks and samples, HIGH Lights draws from the legendary catalogs of Prestige, Milestone, and Fantasy Records, with mood-enhancing cuts by Patrice Rushen, Funk, Inc., David Axelrod, The Blackbyrds, and Rusty Bryant, among others.

Exclusive SPLATTER vinyl produced by Craft Recordings in celebration of Record Store Day 2026. Includes a “prescription” insert, while the album itself is housed in a giant grass bag.
