''Impressions'' is the first compilation retrospective album by Bronx-born singer, songwriter, and pianist Laura Nyro. It was released in the UK in 1980 and features material from her first four albums for Verve and Columbia Records, completely omitting material after 1970. The album was released seemingly without Nyro's approval or knowledge, at the time Nyro was in a period of semi-retirement, living with her young son in Danbury, but flopped and ''Impressions'' remains out of print, having never been issued on CD. She did not release another album until 1984. Nyro curated her own retrospective album, ''Stoned Soul Picnic: The Best of Laura Nyro'', shortly before her death in 1997. ==Overview== ''Impressions'' brings together both some of Nyro's best-known songs and also hidden gems, making it more adventurous than standard retrospectives and more representative of her work - but despite its 1980 release date, only included material from her first four albums - ''More Than A New Discovery'' (1967), ''Eli and the Thirteenth Confession'' (1968), ''New York Tendaberry'' (1969), and ''Christmas and the Beads of Sweat'' (1970). ''Impressions'' was not a commercial success and remains rare and out-of-print. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Impressions (Laura Nyro album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
