PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Original copies of this Lp are fairly expensive, sometimes selling on ebay for a few hundred dollars. It’s worth it though, as Vox Populi is one of the great early concept Lps and definitely one "in" with the best of any Canadian '60s psych albums.

A little history on the band known as Les Sinners: they started out in Quebec during the mid 60s and before Vox Populi released two garage (great) garage fuzz/psych albums in 1967, their half French/half English-sung debut Sinerisme was an excellent, defiant effort that combined rowdy fuzz rockers with attractive snarl-vocals & primitive garage beat. The similarly titled Sinnerismes followed with a respectable slab of primitive garage & psych nuggets. Vox Populi or “voices of the people” was the group’s highwater mark, a superb concept LP centered around life and people’s attitudes toward everyday situations. This 1968 release has many highlights over both sides, for example, "Everything Will Be Fine" begins and ends with cool, distorted vocals.

Vox Populi bears a strong resemblence in sound to the Who’s "Sell Out" LP and shares a concept similar to that of the Kink’s "Face to Face" album. Many of the songs are 2.5 to 3 minute pop-art-fuzz/psych gems and the album displays a good stoned sense of humor throughout. It’s almost useless to pick out key tracks as Vox Populi is very consistent and individual. Everything Will Be Fine, Nothing Is Happening, and Today, Tomorrow are all strong psych-pop tracks with good atmospheric vocals, an “English feel” and a nice, trippy production. Other hard rocking highlights are the muscular, lean rocker Late and the brilliant Don’t You Run Away. Actually "Don’t You Run Away" is a killer fuzz laden psych punker that sounds similar to a really good cut off the Outsiders’ "C.Q." or the Pretty Things’ "S.F. Sorrow." Another strong track, "The Days Are Gone" is a superb melancholy rocker that harkens back to an earlier time in rock history.

Les Sinners would go on to release another album or two during the progressive rock era though none of them matched the greatness of the debut or the legendary Vox Populi.
