"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

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

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

Before you rush in screaming about how these tracks nor their original versions are actual disco music, consider the fact that in Jamaica, “disco” refers to the extended 12-inch single with the dub version tacked on the end. Having said that, these recordings are from that fertile period were dancehall was going digi, so you’ll get helpings of some lesser known Taxi records inna computerized style in addition to some of the finest examples of Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare’s massive rhythm section. Most of which have never been available on a vinyl pressing this nice, and were previously only found on various Jamaican pressings of characteristically questionable quality. There’s no Chaka Demus & Pliers here, but instead you’ll find Sly, Robbie and their arsenal of singers and deejays interpreting American soul classics, making for some of the heaviest dancehall dubs to ever come out of the Taxi camp, even though they haven’t necessarily attained the same status as “Murder She Wrote” (token-reggae-record-played-by-hip-hop-DJ status). Home T-4’s cover of The Stylistics’ “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love” is a huge slice of Jamdown street soul, but also check out Tinga Stewart’s “Rainy Night In Georgia,” Jimmy Riley’s version of “Sexual Healing” and Dennis Wilson’s unbelievably cool version of Marvin’s “Inner City Blues.” Double 180g vinyl pressing housed in deluxe gatefold jacket with 20-page booklet containing extensive liner notes, and each track includes the extended dub mixes. What more could you ask for? Recommended.
- 180g double vinyl pressing
