"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

"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)

One of two long lost Psychic TV albums, back in print. Allegory And Self signaled an unexpectedly poppy new direction for the band. Gone are the anti-rock, anti-punk aesthetics (read: lack of guitar, drums, melody) of Throbbing Gristle and early Psychic TV. Opening couplet “Godstar” and “Just Like Arcadia” are surprisingly catchy, with jangly guitars, bluesy rhythms and poppy vocals not too dissimilar from what bands like The Smiths and The Stone Roses were cooking up north in a parallel universe. The album is peppered with a few other bright moments, notably the smudged cassette pop of proto-Ariel Pink jam “We Kiss” and “Baby’s Gone Away” (demos of which appear on the ultra-rare Pagan Day, also reissued), but contains plenty of the post-industrial goth theatrics we expect from Genesis P-Orridge & co. In 1988, Allegory And Self was Psychic TV’s poppiest album to date, until later that year when they dove head-first into acid house on Jack The Tab and Tekno Acid Beat, foreshadowed here on “Ballet Disco” and the Italo-leaning “She Was Surprised.” Reissued for the first time ever on white vinyl as a joint release by Sacred Bones and Dais Records, this pressing is limited to 1500 copies and includes a 16-page booklet of illustrations and liner notes and code for free digital download. Recommended.
