"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez
"It's always nice to feel like you're appreciated, and you guys have done a great job with that."- R. Abeel
"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo
"My Rane mixer arrived safely yesterday. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for your speedy response to my initial enquiry and efficient delivery. Great price and great service, I'll definitely be telling my friends about it." - A. McConnell (Marrickville, Australia)

One of the rarest and most sought-after soul records of all time, and for good reason. One of those records that collectors refer to solely by the artist name, either because it’s just so good and all the heads are checking for it, or simply because the band name is so sick (and also because up until Numero Group released their long lost sophomore album, this was the band’s only release). After a respectable career as an arranger for Motown and Stax, Detroit-born Dale Warren linked with a group of young Cincinatti musicians called The Ditalians, convinced them to change their name to 24-Carat Black, and wrote, produced and arranged this utter gem of a concept album about inner city life and strife for Stax subsidiary Enterprise Records. Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth achieves Floyd or King Crimson levels of grandiosity and austerity with the funk & soul pedigree fully intact. It’s the perfect sample record; you could easily build albums and albums worth of beats using nothing from breaks from this LP. Imagine what it must have felt like to pull this from some swampy thrift shop during the black gold rush of the early 90s, not having a clue what it was, bringing it home and dropping the needle on “Synopsis One”! Few of us are so lucky, and chances are you’ve heard this record, or heard a lot about it, long before even laying eyes on it. Sampled by Digable Planets, Eric B, Jay-Z, Nas, Scarface, Ice Cube and more. Nice remastered Stax pressing in a repro tip-on sleeve, recommended.
- 180g black vinyl pressing
- remastered audio
- housed in deluxe tip-on jacket
- printed inner sleeve w/ extensive liner notes
- original release year: 1973
- music label: Enterprise 2018
