"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)

1986's Victorialand finds the Cocteaus at their absolute utmost ethereal. With Simon Raymonde stepping away to work with Ivo on the second This Mortal Coil album, Liz and Robin peel back the layers to show you how the sausage gets made, and what a sublime, lacey, atmospheric sausage it is, consisting of little more than a couple of guitar tracks and Liz’s vocals. You get a greater impression of their compositional genius, but with everything run through a complex maze of pedals and effects, you sadly don’t gain any insight into their tracking methods or overall recording process as you would with a typical ‘acoustic’ album; all the warts are washed away in reverb. This would be their most new agey sounding record before snapping into pop mode on Blue Bell Knoll, and it definitely vibes harder than anything else in their catalog. They finally ditched that drum machine loaded with Led Zep samples, fleshing out a sound palette which has allowed the record to age incredibly well - there’s even saxophone (played by Richard Thomas of Dif Juz). Also, one of the coolest and most underrated sleeves from legendary 4AD designer Vaughan Oliver (R.I.P.). Check out “Lazy Calm,” “Fluffy Tufts,” “Whale Tails,” “Little Spacey” and “Feet-Like Fins.” With the re-release of this and Garlands, all of the Cocteaus’ proper studio albums for 4AD are now thankfully back in print. Remastered from the original analog tapes with artwork faithful to the original 23 Envelope designs and code for digital download. Recommended.
- black vinyl pressing
- remastered from original analog masters
- includes printed insert
- digital download included
