"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)

Lonnie Liston Smith uses the Rhodes-infused opening track from Pharoah Sanders’ Thembi (a tune which he composed and played on) as the jumping off point for an extraordinary five-album run with Flying Dutchman in the 1970s. He reframes the decidedly Eastern-tinged version found on Pharoah’s album with smokey nightclub vibes and even more syrupy grooves, without compromising any the tune’s transportive qualities. From there he jumps on ye olde grand piano for some sublime ivory tickling (“Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord”) backed by the Cosmic Echoes crew (Mtume, Cecil McBee and more) fully living up to their name. “Rejuvination” sports some absolutely batshit sax blowing from George Barron (who?). “I Mani (Faith)” is the most Pharoah-esque cut (à la “Greeting To Saud”) with divine textured instrumentation giving way to free jazz freakouts. “In Search Of Truth” is sparse and experimental but funky, “Aspirations” winds ye down with utterly gorgeous, highly-sampleable solo Rhodes (4:20 worth to be precise 😏). Just killer. I slept on this one for a long time - maybe the artwork is a little too on the nose, or I was just too obsessed with the Roni Size loop on Expansions. Anyway, I'm here now and so are you. Ace reissue by Real Gone Music with full repro gatefold jacket, recommended.
- black vinyl pressing
- housed in full color gatefold jacket
- original release year: 1973
- music label: Real Gone Music 2022
