"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)

London reissue saviors Mr Bongo follow up their spectacular Original Sound Of Mali collection with a handpicked selection of the finest tracks from “a truly golden age of music” in Burkina Faso, the landlocked West African republic formerly known as Upper Volta. Connoisseurs of rare African grooves will no doubt already be familiar with Numero Group’s excellent Bobo Yeye - Belle Epoque In Upper Volta boxset from a few years back, and though it was fairly exhaustive, Mr Bongo make it abundantly clear that this rich musical treasure trove is far from tapped. Made up of more than 50 distinct ethnic groups and as many spoken languages with an equally diverse set of influences, the music represented here is a high-grade stew of funk, psyche, blues, highlife, afrobeat, disco, rock & roll and latin filtered through that distinct but playful West African musical pedigree that we just can’t get enough of. Stacked with tracks by some of Burkina Faso’s best-known artists (Amadou Balaké, Cissé Abdoulaye) alongside serious rarities - consider Nabolle John Oumar’s life-affirming afro disco scorcher “M’ba Lale” (only 1 copy currently on Discogs for $450) or Youssouf Diarra’s “Djanfa Magni” ($472). Also don’t miss Sandwidi Pierre yearning for the beach on “Boy Cuisinier” (jocking this for my next Lab review alias), or Amadou Balaké’s salsa deadringer “Whiskey Y Coca Cola.” Though these songs were recorded in Upper Volta, Mr Bongo have named this outstanding collection appropriately - this is the soundtrack of the cultural revolution that resulted in the country’s name change. 13 tracks on black double vinyl, housed in deluxe gatefold sleeve with booklet containing extensive liner notes and photos. Recommended.
- double vinyl pressing
