"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)

The Numero Group have outdone themselves here, assembling the sweetest unsung jams from dusty girl group 45 bins for this collection of highly rare and/or previously unreleased doo wop, femme soul and girly garage, all united under one beehive and rarely crossing that nefarious three minute threshold… it’s remarkable they’ve gone this long without doing one of these. If you’re like us, you probably sniffed this out after spotting that stunning cover photo, but copy and paste any one of these track titles into an eBay search at random and suddenly this release seems all the more essential. Some collectors might bemoan the supposed ‘inauthenticity’ of compilations, but this music lends itself to the comp format perfectly, as most of these gals only released one 45 and then vanished permanently back into supermarket-and-salon lyfe. The tracks are all incredibly short but incredibly sweet, and the energy level rides high for the duration, hitting you one after the next with nonstop sugary harmonies and punchy hooks. Hard to name favorites, but The Chantells’ “I’ll Never Know,” The Mellow Dawns’ “I Don’t Believe,” Judi & The Affections’ “Dum, Dum, De Dip,” The Belles’ “Melvin,” The Shades’ “I Won’t Cry” and The Monzas’ “Where Is Love” are all getting heavy rewinds in the Lab office. Not only does it sound great, it’s a truly gorgeous physical package, even by Numero standards: 28 tracks spread across four sides of vinyl, housed in deluxe Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket with 18 page booklet containing thorough artist bios, photos, and extensive liner notes. If nothing else it was a great excuse to do something with that cover photo shot by Bill Ray, taken from a 1965 Life magazine spread about the Hell’s Angels and their lady friends. Recommended.
- black double vinyl pressing
- housed in deluxe Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket
