  • Colpix LP Mono: Sound Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    Zawm9595November 1, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The sound quality on this Colpix LP Mono US Repress is absolutely amazing! It's easily one of the best pressings I've ever heard.

  • Vinyl Time Travel

    4 out of 5 stars
    roygouvApril 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The vinyl plays smoothly and quietly, even in the gaps between songs. The original recording has a distinct "vibe" from that era, which is quite pleasant, it's almost like my living room has been magically taken back to a jazz lounge in 1961.

  • Simone's Impressive Vocal Showcase

    3 out of 5 stars
    bcriba9322October 29, 2024United States🇺🇸

    On her initial studio record for Colpix, Simone showcases her impressive vocal and piano skills, backed by Al Schackman's excellent and understated guitar playing. I'm not too fond of the song that gives the album its name, but the rest is quite enjoyable, with "Just to Say I Love Him" standing out as particularly noteworthy.

  • Purple Vinyl with Decent Sound

    4 out of 5 stars
    rewolhOctober 5, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This album features some truly lovely tracks. The vinyl itself is a gorgeous purple (clear) color. My copy has decent sound quality, though there's a bit of hiss. The inner sleeve is made of printed cardboard/paper, which unfortunately leads to some static and scratches.

  • Sound Purchase Thrills

    5 out of 5 stars
    Pap_rorrakzMay 8, 2024United States🇺🇸

    I'm thrilled with my purchase, it sounds fantastic!
