"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)

Official reissue of power chord pioneer's self-titled 1971 studio album. It came as a surprise to me that Link Wray’s most definitive record was poorly received upon its initial release. It shares so many sonic commonalities with Van Morrison’s Moondance and the Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed, which both saw widespread success the year prior, but it was denounced by fans due to Wray’s departure from his earlier, more raucous sound. And yet, 50 years later, it's only aged like fine wine, influencing new generations of musicians along the way. The Neville Brothers, Father John Misty, and Calexico have all covered “Fallin’ Rain,” the somber, final track on side A which criticizes gun violence in the USA. Side B opener “Fire and Brimstone” takes the upbeat rhythms of the Stone’s “Gimme Shelter” and blends them with burning Biblical imagery into an apocalyptic banger. Overall, Link Wray is a quintessential roots-rock record and a perfect companion to Light in the Attic’s Native North America Vol.1 compilation. 11 tracks on tri-color split vinyl, recommended.
- red, orange + green split colored vinyl pressing
- remastered sound
- housed in deluxe gatefold sleeve
- includes printed foldout insert w/ new liner notes
- first official vinyl reissue
- music label: Future Days Recordings 2021
