"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)

I sorta slept on this one for a long time for various reasons - not being released by 4AD chief among them, but also the admittedly reprehensible I Spy-esque artwork (can’t top 23 Envelope so why even try), plus the fact I’d never heard anyone ever say anything about it, good or bad. While it might actually be better (I certainly enjoy it more), it’s hard to drown out the cultish fervor surrounding Heaven Or Las Vegas. Their major label debut Four Calendar Café is some of the most straightforward pop music they ever made - Robin Guthrie’s pulled back slightly on his gratuitous reverb, and you can almost sing along to Liz’s vocals. Unlike the deliberately confounding song titles and pointlessly meandering songwriting of their mid-career records (which I love!), tracks like “Bluebeard” and “Know Who You Are At Every Age” are intuitive and down to earth. The entire side B is, in my opinion, the finest 20 minutes of music the Cocteaus ever cut to tape; starting with the utterly sublime “My Truth” through the new age excellence “Essence,” jangle pop earworm “Summerhead” and the crystalline wall of sound bliss of “Pur” - I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about listening to it! If you’re nodding your head yes, you too have probably been stalking D*sc*gs literally for years trying to get a copy and can finally get some sleep thanks to this official 2024 repress, now on 4AD along with the rest of their catalog. Highly recommended.
- 1993 major label debut, official 30th anniversary 4AD reissue approved by the band
- black vinyl pressing
- newly remastered by Robin Guthrie
- full color printed insert
- original release year: 1993
- music label: 4AD 2024
