"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)

DUBWISE VERSIONS OF MASSIVE ATTACK'S CLASSIC PROTECTION LP; THIS RE-VERSIONED EDITION IS A CLASSIC IN ITS OWN RIGHT. Not much that hasn’t already been said about this album, but as the story goes, Massive Attack were big fans of Mad Professor (née Neil Fraser) and his heavyweight UK dub label Ariwa Sounds and commissioned him to remix the title track from their sophomore album, Protection. Impressed with the result (“Radiation Ruling The Nation”), the band had a vision for a full-length remix album with Fraser at the controls and the result is perhaps the most singularly unique project in either artist’s high pedigree catalogs. The otherwise deeply soulful and jazz-inflected versions found on Protection are chewed up and spit out of Mad Professor’s mixing board, where jazzy bass licks become pressurized sub bass and the voices of Tracey Thorn, Horace Andy, Tricky and Nicolette are distant, echoing ghosts that rarely come up for air and vanish just as quick as they came. The album concept and bugged-out sleeve pay homage to the decades-old tradition of dub albums taking on new life from their rootsy vocal counterparts, in the style of classic version sides by Scientist, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Jah Shaka and Mad Professor himself. No Protection was, for the longest time, Massive Attack’s hardest record to find, with used copies commonly fetching upwards of $100 online, but the repress gods heard our prayers and Virgin have blessed us with this brilliant reissue on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 1995. Recommended!
