  • Album Reminds of Dreams

    5 out of 5 stars
    Ypayy_KixqtuleyDecember 29, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The moment I started listening to this album, it reminded me of the first time I heard Gabor Szabo's Dreams. I'd never come across it prior, but I was immediately hooked.

  • VMP Vinyl: Flat, Great Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    gpusgugrufvoyDecember 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Honestly, my vinyl is as flat as a pancake, the packaging is spot on, and it sounds fantastic after a proper clean. Since late 2020 and throughout 2021, VMP has been on point, right up there with the other major players in the vinyl game. Plus, their customer service is top-notch, just like most others, if you end up with a warped or damaged record. IMHO

  • Authentic Reverb, Digital Feel

    5 out of 5 stars
    cluavudNovember 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Plenty of reverb that comes across as genuine. It retains the feel of an early recording, yet doesn't sound digital (assuming it's from a digital source, they've done a great job).

  • Energetic Audio Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    LaqocywZmocLipeNovember 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Energetic, impactful, and bold audio. Crisp and pristine all the way through. An enthralling delight to the ears. Great job!

  • Top-Notch Third Man Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    elufseihxmuclozNovember 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Top-notch Third Man record I've come across. Initially, I was a bit worried since it's packaged in a paper sleeve and had tons of scratches, stains, and gunk on the vinyl—just like every other TM pressing I've seen—but it plays flawlessly from start to finish and blows away the cheaper 'Scorpio Distribution' version I own. Highly recommend it 😎
