referencing Don't Close Your Eyes (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Lavender Marble, 180g) VMP-CW027
I couldn't be happier than to have this beautiful sounding vinyl. VMP does it again.
I'm not complaining at all, but there is one minor blip in the title song, "Don't Close your Eyes" at the word "find" in the last line using the words, "You'll find more love than you've ever known." I notice the same blip on, "The Essential Keith Whitley" CD (1996) and "Greatest Hits" CD (1990). I don't have 1988 vinyl release to compare. If anyone has a 1988 vinyl release I'd be interested to know if that blip appears at that point in the record. I'm thinking that this 2023 VMP version used a digital source, but I wonder if the !988 releases were analogue or digitally sourced. Just curious more than anything. I'd recommend this album 100%

Having only experienced this album on CD prior to obtaining this pressing, I can say that on vinyl, this album sounds much richer in every way. The quality of this pressing is dynamic and reveals clarity and layers I hadn’t heard before while also being dead quiet between tracks. Another great job by VMP in breathing new life into old classics!referencing Don't Close Your Eyes (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Lavender Marble, 180g) VMP-CW027
Keith has an unbelievable vocal range and this album highlights it. If this album doesn’t bring you to tears or goosebumps, I don’t know what will! VMP did a great job with the pressing and packaging. Contact line stylus

Sounds great, but even after cleaning I had some distortion on side two near the end. Anyone else?

Excellent job, so happy to have the full album on vinyl. Sounds phenomenal.

Wow. This sounds amazing. Not terribly familiar with this album, but decided to let it ride. So glad I did.

Ever since VMP Country started, I was hoping they would do this pressing. I love Keith and his catalog needed repressing. This plays great. Thanks VMP, now do L.A. to Miami :-)- Beautifully mastered. Everything on this album has just been done right.
So happy this is going to be the May VMP album of the month. Hoping their release is not the abridged version.referencing Don't Close Your Eyes (LP) 6494-1-R
The album that defined Whitley as the next big star of country. Keith delivers an even more mature sound, with his vocals reaching their absolute peak here, hitting incredible depth that hits the soul
