"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-awaited 2-part follow up to Joey Negro’s crucial 2010 collection of rare British boogie! While Backstreet Brit Funk Vol. 1 was a CD-only affair (save for a measly 4-track sampler 12”), Joey Negro and Z Records have lovingly made the entire Vol. 2 available as two separate double vinyl sets, and this is Part 2 (find Part 1 here). A lot of this music is virtually indistinguishable from stateside boogie and jazz-funk, but the exchange of West Indian patois and Estuary English that starts off side 1 track 1 (Cache’s “Jazzin’ And Crusin’”) lets you know right off the top you’re not in baseball country anymore. Another subtlety that tips off the British jazz-funk sound is that they tend to go for a slightly broken rhythm with that early kick every couple bars or so, just to fuck with the dancers (think “Southern Freeez” or early 52nd Street), anticipating Bugz In The Attic by more than 2 decades. This collection covers a wide range of sounds that ruled London discos in the late 70s and early 80s, from Prelude-style syrupy machine funk (AD2000’s “Love Time Machine,” The Antilles’ “I’ve Got To Have You”), to rich Mizell-grade jazz-funk (“Jazzin’ And Cruisin,” Touchdown's "Ease Your Mind”) to straight-up anthems (Index’s “Starlight,” Ritual’s “Non Stop Boogie”). O.G. press snobs, dig all you want, you’re just simply not gonna find these in the States. Do not sleep! Recommended.
- part 2 of 2
- double vinyl pressing
- gatefold sleeve
- liner notes by Joey Negro
- music label: Z Records 2018
