"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)

Long-overdue collection of Wilfred Limonious’ dancehall sleeve designs compiled by Al Fingers, author of the excellent Clarks In Jamaica and Greensleeves: The First 100 Covers. In Fine Style charts Limonious’ progression from pamphlet illustrator to cartoonist to Jamaica’s premiere sleeve designer for reggae & dancehall records in the 80s and early 90s. The Original Stalag 17, 18 & 19 riddim compilation on Winston Riley’s Techniques label is perhaps Limonious’ best known design. His highly collectable sleeves would typically feature a portrait of the artist set between his colorful & imaginative lettering on the front, with intricate cartoon drawings of outrageous scenes inside the dance hall on the back, replete with deejays, selectors & voluptuous dancers all colored in comical situations. His vivid illustrations would go on to inspire dancehall enthusiasts for generations, most notably Diplo & Major Lazer. This book is a near-complete archive of Limonious’ designs for Frankie Paul, Sugar Minott, Little John, Toyan; practically every dancehall artist active in the 1980s had an LP sleeve graced by Limonious’ unique touch. Recommended.
