"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)

Betty Davis is a landmark figure in funk music, the stylistic forerunner of all self-proclaimed "freaky b*tches" out there today. She was a model who had her first song published before she was twenty ("Uptown" by the Chambers Brothers) and went on to marry, and divorce, Miles Davis before she was 25. She turned Miles on to electric funk (he named several compositions for her) and was tight with Hendrix and Sly & the Family Stone. Their influences are all over her music and in fact much of her band came from the Sly/Graham Central Station crew. The sound is early 70's Bay Area hard funk, meaning rugged drums (courtesy of Gregg Errico) and acid-tinged guitar (Neal Schon!), that provide many an open break and generally work it all the way through. Her scorching vocals may take a little getting used to for some, but are the perfect match for her bad ass lyrics. This is her first album, and contains what may be her best tune, "Anti Love Song." Sampled aplenty (ol' heads might remember Godfather Don's "Piece of the Action") and essential for any Valentines gig. "If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up" demonstrates she just didn't give a F long before Marshall. Also take a listen to her on "Game Is My Middle Name" and "Steppin In Her I Miller Shoes." This record has a bit more of a rocked out flavor than the next, but Betty Davis' over the top attitude carries the weight easily. 8 tracks total on deluxe coke bottle clear vinyl with fully remastered sound from the original tapes courtesy of LITA.
