"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)

Some of the most sought-after Stark Reality grooves back on wax! Roller Coaster Ride is another shining example of Stark Reality's psychedelic jazz funk genius. The album was unavailable for decades after its initial recording (until it was reissued as 1969 in 2003) and is available once again from the good folks at Now-Again. Here's what we said about it back when it was titled 1969: Far from scraping the bottom of the barrel, these tracks actually sound closer to what I had imagined the Music Shop album to sound like. It’s still pretty far from being out-and-out funk, but the grooves are more in-the-pocket and conventionally funk-based. Which is a good thing, because they more than make up for the fact that Monty Stark’s vocals more eccentric than on the other album. “Pretty Music” is a perfect case in point. The track boasts some real deep-dish jamming, but Monty's voice is definitely something else. Same thing for “Roller Coaster Ride,” which is possibly the best cut here. “Too Much Tenderness” is short and sweet, and could have really been something with a Donny Hathaway-caliber vocalist. “Red Yellow Moonbeams” is a 9-minute acid-fuzz-jazz trip that must be heard to be believed. 6 tracks total including another one that tops out at almost 10 minutes. Restored and remastered from the original tapes and comes with digital download and extensive liner notes from Egon and legendary jazz musician Ahmad Jamal.
