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.
