"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)

“Please everybody, if we didn’t do everything we could’ve done, we tried, etc.” - note from the band to John Peel & staff
“Without John Peel sessions” guitarist Will Sergeant explains, “Echo And The Bunnymen, in my opinion, would not exist!” The Liverpool post-punk icons recorded a number of studio sessions for the famed BBC producer, and this set collects material from that finest sliver of their career: 1979 to 1983. “Villiers Terrace,” “Stars Are Stars” and “Pictures On My Wall” were all worked out in Peel’s studio before they appeared on the Bunnymen’s 1980 debut Crocodiles; likewise “Nocturnal Me,” “Ocean Rain,” “My Kingdom” and Donnie Darko highlight “The Killing Moon” (don’t front - if you’re under 35, this was how you found out about this band, case closed) all appear here in nascent form ahead of their more polished versions on the Ocean Rain album. Tried and true cuts like “Villiers Terrace,” “Turquoise Days” and “Over The Wall” sound so much more tactile and urgent here, stripped to their essence with very little more than guitar, bass, drum machine and Ian McCulloch’s peerless shrieking. Not to mention THE definitive versions of “That Golden Smile” and “I Bagsy Yours.” 21 tracks in total, spread across two LPs housed in gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes, released on the band’s boutique Korova imprint. I’ve never quite loved any proper Bunnymen LP from start to finish, but this is near perfect. Recommended.
- 180g black double vinyl pressing
- indie exclusive
- gatefold sleeve w/ detailed liner notes
- music label: Korova 2019
