"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

"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)

Landmark indie album from Robert Pollard and Guided By Voices. The group drew inspiration from British Invasion rock, garage and punk rock, and would go on to inspire a legion of followers. By this point in their career the band had recorded many albums, self releasing them in small runs to family and friends. They started to gain attention with the release of Propeller and Vampire on Titus in the early 90s. Building on the success of those two releases they were able to secure a distribution deal with Matador Records. Pollard was having trouble writing a followup to Vampire on Titus and chose to "deconstruct" and "reconstruct" the band's older, unused material into new songs for Bee Thousand. The band also abandoned any notion of recording in a proper studio, in favor of inexpensive recording devices due to economic constraints. This helped capture the spontaneous nature in which many of the songs came together while creating the lo-fi sound that the band became known for. With all that had gone into their previous recordings and their limited success, Bee Thousand was to be Guided By Voices' last album. Instead, the record helped to propel the band's career. The majority of the songs clock in at under 2 minutes and included are standouts "The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory," "Hot Freaks," "Mincer Ray," and the timeless "I Am A Scientist." Essential lo-fi indie rock classic.
