"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

"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

Althea and Donna dropped the single "Uptown Top Ranking" in 1977, and it immediately became one of those songs that took over the reggae world, forever a classic. For such a popular tune, this is ridiculously hard to find on 7" and LP, so here you go. Of course nothing on the album can match the appeal of the title track, but it is filled with sweet lyrics over clean riddims from Dynamic and Sly + Robbie. Altogether a good vibe. They sound best when they keep with the Michigan and Smiley sing-jay style on cuts like "Make A Truce" (plus a great bass inro from Robbie). The rest gets a bit flat sometimes, but shit this is worth it for the title track and cover alone. Also includes "No More Fighting," "Jah Rastafari," "Oh Dread" and more.
- 1978 reggae classic, first time on vinyl in 20+ years
- black vinyl pressing
- original release year: 1978
