"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)

Seminal 2001 roots reggae compilation repressed on limited edition blue vinyl! Originally released in 2001, Studio One Roots is one of the bestselling compilations from London's Soul Jazz Records and laid the groundwork for dozens more collaborations with the Jamaican reggae institution. Here's our original Lab review from when we first carried the CD almost 2 decades ago:
These guys really got it right this time. Their Studio One Soul release was received with lukewarm reception, but this one is an absolute killer. With the exception of a couple tracks, all of this material is new to me and it all blew me away. I'm not sure of the rarity meter on these tracks, but the compilers definitely went deep for this one. The first track I put on was the Black Brothers "School Children" and I nearly dropped bricks in my shorts. With the fine exception of Freddie McGregor's "Africa Here I Come" (which appears here in extended version) and a few others like Devon Russell's "Drum Song," most tracks do not appear on the classic Studio One riddims, strictly refreshing and highly unique originals. The instrumental tracks featured here are straight up mango dripping off your face in the sunshine. Does it get more sublime than the Sound Dimension's "Congo Rock?" If you are at all into the sound, you need to have this album. Other tracks include Cyclones + Count Ossie's "Meditation," Cornell Campbell's "Natty Don't Go" Willie Williams' "Addis Ababa," Leroy Wallace's "Far Beyond," Lennie Hibbert's "More Creation," Winston Jarrett's "Fear Not," Alton Ellis "Blackish White," Zoot Simms' "African Challenge" and more. Amazing.
