"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)

Vivian Girls is the eponymous debut from the Brooklyn indie-rock trio. Named after a posthumously discovered manuscript by outsider mixed-media artist Henry Darger, the group was one of the premiere buzzbands of the blog era. 2008's Vivian Girls features the lineup of Cassie Ramone, “Kickball Katy” Goodman, and Frankie Rose (also of Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, and Beverly). They found immediate support from the global underground, scoring opening spots for Jay Reatard, Sonic Youth, and King Khan & The BBQ Show. This gives a hint to the band’s sound at the time - a blend of the harmoninc, garagey, gloomy, and somewhat twee. The album is hardly over 20 minutes long, but every second of is is bursting with breathless adrenaline. “Tell The World” is double-time twang and rigid post-punk drums, vocals stretched to cover the entire sonic spectrum with chorus effects. It’s followed up by the sonic polar opposite “Where Do You Run To”, a charmingly tender ballad along the lines of classic girl groups like the Shangri-Las. The disc ends with the crashing drums and monochromatic guitar washes of “I Believe in Nothing”, bright guitar solos dueling with the blown out, mantra-like chorus. This edition of the record was mastered by Heba Kadry and pressed on cream and maroon split colored vinyl, plays at super loud 45 RPM.

- remastered edition, plays at 45 RPM
