"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)

Changing up their tried and true sound, The Ramones' fourth outing, Road To Ruin was bewildering at first for critics and fans alike. The bands first three albums had helped spark the punk revolution and established the group as one of the greatest rock bands to ever roll, but they were still not getting the sales either they or the label were hoping for. With the departure of Tommy Ramone as drummer - he would help take the reins on the production side - and the arrival of Marky Ramone as his replacement, the album introduced some characteristics which were previously unheard of in Ramones records. While less prominently punk rock-sounding, Road To Ruin features guitar solos, acoustic rhythm guitars, and even ballads (Joey Ramone somehow rhymes "Second Avenue" with "chicken vindaloo" in the albums opening song "I Just Want to Have Something To Do"). The album failed to garner the commercial and critical success the band was hoping for upon initial release in 1978, but critical acclaim did arrive decades later. The songs lose some of the raw power indicative of their earlier albums, but the expanded arrangements add a needed fullness to their sound. The twangling bassline and guitar solos adds a surprisingly effective countr-esque sound on songs like "Don't Come Close" and "Questioningly." That said, the classic "I Wanna Be Sedated" is a prime example of how this new approach worked for the punk outfit. Limited Edition pressing on blue vinyl, released by Sire.
