"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)

One of the rarest dub LPs of all time finally back in print! NOT to be confused with King Tubby’s Prophecy Of Dub released a few years before this, also produced by Yabby You (if you’re familiar with Jamaican music you already know this sort of ambiguity is par for the course). Prophecies Of Dub was actually engineered by one of Tubby’s lesser-known assistants, Pat Kelly. But since it was dubbed at Tubby’s Waterhouse studio and the sound of Tubby’s mixing desk was so unique and iconic at the time, this record, and many others like it, bears Tubby’s name (Kelly was fully credited on the back of the record, but Tubby’s name on the front is what sold records in 1976). Kelly’s approach to the dub is a little less heavy-handed than that of Scientist, Jammy, or Tubby himself; the space echo is used sparingly and tastefully, and generally in a more atmospheric sense compared to the aggressive, shrill, disruptive sound of Tubby’s effects (which, don’t be mistaken, we can’t get enough of). The delay sound deployed here sounds like waves crashing on rocks, slowly and gently eroding the Earth, or maybe I’ve just been staring at the ocean blue cover for too long. Pat Kelly was a real music lover too, and although you might recognize these riddims from songs by Linval Thompson, Johnny Clarke, Horace Andy and more, there’s almost no dubbing of any vocals whatsoever, with Kelly choosing to concentrate solely on the musicianship of The Aggrovators who laid down the original tracks. Our faves: “Earth Fear,” “Babylon Red,” “South West Block,” “Tradition Skank,” “Passing Through,” “Bad Man Stank.” Twelve tracks altogether, housed in full color sleeve with extensive liner notes compiled from recent interviews with Yabby You and Pat Kelly (who knew Tubby had a killer jazz record collection!), poly-lined inner sleeve and resealable outer sleeve. Recommended.
