  • Audio Quality Impressive, Minor Fuzziness

    5 out of 5 stars
    eqoxkitduef_tavidsh15 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    The audio quality is fantastic, but I noticed some fuzziness on the second side towards the close, even after giving it a good clean. Has anyone else experienced this?

  • Whitley's Shining Country Star

    4 out of 5 stars
    vulueyidu748 August 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is the record that solidified Whitley's status as country music's next shining star. Keith's sound has never been more refined, with his voice truly shining and reaching new depths that resonate with the heart.

  • VMP Vinyl Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    nomukarovi18 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm absolutely thrilled with this stunning-sounding vinyl record. VMP has outdone themselves once again. I'm not at all complaining, but there's a tiny little glitch in the title track, "Don't Close Your Eyes," right at the word "find" in the final line, "You'll find more love than you've ever known." I've noticed the same glitch on "The Essential Keith Whitley" CD (1996) and "Greatest Hits" CD (1990). I don't have the 1988 vinyl release to compare. If anyone out there has the 1988 vinyl, I'd love to know if that glitch is present. I'm guessing this 2023 VMP version was sourced from a digital copy, but I'm wondering if the 1988 releases were analogue or digital. It's just a curiosity, nothing more. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this album to anyone!

  • Keith's Music Repress Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    CtpenMeaj2 January 2025United States🇺🇸

    From the moment VMP Country launched, I'd been wishing they'd release this one. Keith's music deserves a repress, and I'm thrilled with how this sounds. Great job, VMP! Now, how about L.A. to Miami next? :-)

  • Vinyl Album Delight

    Fantastic work, over the moon to finally have the entire album on vinyl. It sounds absolutely incredible.
