"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)

Private press records can be a window into a parallel world. Typically released in small runs, they make it into a few people's hands before disappearing completely. Frequently forgotten for good reason, there can be hidden gems that slipped through the cracks. Their covers paint pictures that can lead the mind to wander and create intricate narratives as it searches for an explanation. On the heels of Lewis' L’Amour, Light In The Attic has unearthed another of his private press enigmas. This time going by Lewis Baloue, we're given Romantic Times to further extend the mystery. Apparently Lewis has proven so elusive that all that the label could find was "a series of possibly apocryphal stories about a sports car-driving Canadian with a model on his arm and a habit of skipping town when there were bills to be paid." Upon first listen you can see why the label decided to release the music despite being able to track the man down. The delicate and languid songs bear witness to the longings of Lewis' tortured soul. His voice seems to channel Elvis on a few too many Quaaludes, drowning in his own dreams as synthetic strings float by. There's a certain darkness that lies below the linen suit and white Mercedes, one that is Lewis' and Lewis' alone. Remastered from a sealed, vinyl copy of the ultra-rare album.
- first ever LP reissue
- all tracks newly re-mastered
- LP housed in deluxe Stoughton "Tip-On" gatefold jacket
- liner notes by Jack D. Fleischer
- 180 gram pressing
- includes free download
- music label: R.A.W. Records 1985 / Light In The Attic 2014
