"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)

"Birth of the Cool was not only hummable but it had white people playing the music and serving in prominent roles... we shook people’s ears a little softer than Bird or Diz did, took the music more mainstream." Miles Davis' Birth Of The Cool was the influential horn man's 1st project as a bandleader, recorded between 1949 and 1950 but not released until 1957. The original album compiles the best eleven bursts of hushed, laidback (see also: cool) jazz, all approximately three minutes long, recorded in Gil Evans' cramped basement apartment behind a Chinese laundry in midtown Manhattan. This expanded 2LP set includes the full studio album on the first LP, along with bonus studio outtake "Darn That Dream," while LP2 includes the full recordings from this nonet's (nine musicians) lone live date at The Royal Roost, breezing through revelatory renditions of the album's material and other favorites, all together on vinyl for the first time ever. Includes performances and arrangements from a slew of nascent jazz titans (Gerry Mulligan, Gil Evans, Al McKibbon, Max Roach + more). Housed in gatefold jacket with booklet containing archival photographs, extensive essay from Grammy-winning author Ashley Kahn and liner notes from Mulligan and jazz historian Phil Schaap. Recommended.
- black double vinyl pressing
- housed in gatefold jacket w/ booklet including extensive essays + liner notes from Gerry Mulligan, author Ashley Kahn + jazz historian Phil Schaap
