"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)

"It's a mirage, Paraiso. Melt away the reality." The final installment of Haruomi "Harry" Hosono's Tropical Trilogy, and the beginning of something "more better." 1978's Paraiso (or "paradise") expands upon ideas Hosono started on 1975's Tropical Dandy and 1976's Bon Voyage Co., and is seen as a major turning point in Hosono-san's career. Inspired by a new label (Alfa) and a new state-of-the-art studio (Shibaura Studio A), Hosono takes his tropical-inspired sound to new heights, utilizing synthesizers to create vibrant new textures to traditionally acoustic styles of music. The "Yellow Magic Band" credited on the cover is actually Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, future band mates that would later form Yellow Magic Orchestra (though this would be a crucial pre-cursor to that project). It's easy to hear the magic this special group of musicians concocted together on "Femme Fatale," the insanely catchy "Shimendoka," or the exotic-yet-soothing title track, "Paraiso." It's also worth noting the traditional Japanese melodies Hosono-san is able to incorporate into his sound, like "Asatoya Yunta" and "Fujiyama Mama." This would be the last album Hosono made in this style before pioneering techno-pop music with YMO. First time on vinyl since the original 1978 pressing, and first-ever reissue outside of Japan on any format. Only 1,500 copies pressed. Obviously highly recommended.
- first time on vinyl outside of Japan
- housed in deluxe gatefold sleeve w/ obi strip
- 8 page booket includes translated interview w/ Haruomi Hosono
- extensive liner notes + lyrics
- limited to 1,500 copies
- music label: Light In The Attic 2018
