"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)

Essential outsider music! Innocence & Despair compiles two private press LPs recorded in the late 70s by Canadian elementary school music teacher Hans Fenger. The album made major waves amongst record nerds when it was discovered in a thrift store by one loudmouth collector in 2000. Prior to that, it languished in obscurity for more than 2 decades… nobody wanted it because nobody had even heard of it. According to Fenger: “This was not the way music was traditionally taught. But then I never liked conventional 'children's music,' which is condescending and ignores the reality of children's lives, which can be dark and scary. These children hated 'cute.' They cherished songs that evoked loneliness and sadness.” Despite the straight-up maudlin subject matter addressed in many of these songs, the bountiful children’s voices through which the messages are transmitted lend a heartwarming quality to tunes that are otherwise heart-wrenching; check out their renditions of The Beach Boys' “God Only Knows,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” and Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” for proof. Double vinyl pressing with extensive liner notes on printed insert and obi strip, recommended.
- black double vinyl pressing
- printed insert
- obi strip
- first time on vinyl since 2001
- music label: Bar/None Records 2018
