"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)

First-ever vinyl reissue of this sleeper indie pop debut from the highly underrated Blueboy. Hailing from the (mostly) landlocked town of Reading in southern England, it’s clear that Mark, Lloyd, Gemma, Paul and Keith were longing for sunnier climes, with song titles like “Sea Horses,” “Clear Skies,” “Too Good To Be True” and “Happiness And Smiles” suggesting an obsession with stealing away to some beach utopia somewhere. If Wishes Were Horses eclipses the provincial jangley guitars of The Smiths or The Sundays (also from Reading, innit) with a dual vocal style reminiscent of Laetitia and Mary from S’Lab or the airy intimacy of Pinback. If Wishes is unhurried from the jump, as the quintet are keen on taking their time and keeping it chill from bar one of “Candy Bracelet” through the remaining 7 songs. Despite the lackadaisical vibes though, the young band clearly had a lot of ideas to get down on tape, as every tune lands under the four minute mark save for wispy and atmospheric closer “Amoroso”; brimming with fresh, interesting arrangements and a tender melodic sensibility in the guitar lines. “Candy Bracelet” is the track I keep rinsing, but also check out the super breezy “Clear Skies,” the extremely English-sounding “Fondette” and tender cello-assisted “Cloud Babies.” First time on vinyl since 1992, housed in replica picture sleeve with printed insert containing lyrics and photos from the era. recommended.
