"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)

Big Showdown is one of the earliest Greensleeves releases and an incredible matchup of Jamaica's two most promising engineers, circa 1980. The album alternates each song between Scientist and Jammy, trading blows with Jah Thomas calling the shots (see round 1). The tracks here are signature early 80s dub style, that moment in time where engineering technology and straight instrumental music met at a divine point of balance. Jammy and Scientist freak original instrumentals via studio production, but the bones they got to work with are live instruments, nothing digital. The basis is Junjo production of the Roots Radics sound, mostly taken from Barrington's Hunterman album. My favorite riddim off that album, "Sweet Reggae Music," gets the Scientist treatment in fine style as Round 5. I guess popular opinion had Scientist knocking out Jammy because his next album is the solo "Heavyweight Dub Champion." In an ironic twist of fate, Jammy would have the last laugh a few years later. While he went on to massive success in the mid-eighties with his Jammy's label and production squad, Scientist dwindled into oblivion with the coming of the digital age (set off by Jammy!). Supposedly he just wasn't feeling it. This special 2016 reissue includes a bonus disc including all the original Barrington Levy vocal versions with completely remastered sound and huge foldout poster. Official VP pressing with glossy sleeve - this is the version to own!
- double vinyl version w/ vocals + dubs
- bonus disc includes original vocal versions
- remastered sound
- includes foldout poster
- music label: Greensleeves Records 2016
