"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 hope to see you." Originally released in 1977, Iroha Ni Konpeitou found Akiko Yano at a creative peak, and arguably at her funkiest. Here the charismatic Japanese singer/songwriter is backed by an all-star line-up of musicians from Tokyo and New York (both locations where recording took place), including YMO mastermind Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki, Tatsuo Hayashi, Rick Marotta, Will Lee, and modular synth wizard Hideki Matsutake. In addition to highlighting Yano's exuberant singing and brilliant keyboard playing (she toured with YMO as keyboardist during the late 70's/early 80's), the album showcases her unique approach to music making that combines Japanese pop with funk and a touch of electronics. Check out the title track, "Iroha Ni Konpeitou," "Potsun," "Ike Yanagida" or "Yamase" for a taste. Chances are, even if you don't speak Japanese, the musicality is so infectious that you'll catch yourself humming along in no time. Her status as an exuberant performer and singularly talented singer/songwriter may not be that well known outside of Japan, but hopefully these reissues from Wewantsounds will help change that. This is the first time this album has been released outside of Japan and features fully remastered sound sourced from the original tapes. Comes complete with foldout poster and obi strip. Recommended.
