"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)

Watch this sound! The mysterious Music On Vinyl label has been on a real tear serving up these impossibly rare dub and reggae joints lately, and this one’s no less crucial. Absolutely is the debut LP from The Uniques’ second lineup of Slim Smith, Roy Shirley and Franklyn White (but before later incarnations featuring Cornell Campbell and Al Campbell) released by Trojan in 1968. Jamdown was firmly steeped in the rocksteady sound at this point, having all but left behind ska for a slower groove in an effort to de-escalate rude boy business in the dancehall. But Jamaican singers were still looking stateside for inspiration in their vocal style, so Absolutely is dripping with vintage Motown sweetness and soulful harmonies. The trio burn through a mix of originals and cleverly-disguised covers, including numbers by Curtis Mayfield (“Gipsy Woman”), Smokey Robinson (“Just A Mirage,” “You’ll Lose A Precious Love”), Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong ("That's The Way Love Is”) and curiously but most effectively, Stephen Stills (“Watch This Sound” aka “For What It’s Worth”). Production is shared by Bunny “Striker” Lee and Lloyd “Reggae Is Tight” Charmers, individually stamped & numbered edition of 1000 copies on orange colored 180g vinyl. This is a chance to own one of the rarest-ever Trojan LPs on wax, easy recommendation.

- official reissue of rare 1968 rocksteady LP
- first time on vinyl in over 40 years
- individually stamped + numbered edition of 1000 copies
