"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)

After John Coltrane’s Both Directions At Once surfaced earlier this year, lost albums by the upper echelon of deceased jazz artists seem to just be coming out of the woodwork. Here’s a (for reasons unknown) never before released 41 minute session recorded live in Copenhagen in 1963 by the High Priest of Bebop, the great Thelonious Monk, with what is generally considered to be his most beloved quartet: John Ore on bass, Frankie Dunlop on drums and Charlie Rouse on tenor. There’s something about a live jazz recording, with just the right amount of applause and crowd ambiance, it reminds you that this was a singular event unfolding in real time with no producer and no overdubs; it lends a certain atmosphere and urgency that you just don’t get from a studio album. Four musicians at the top of their game playing a considered mix of standards (“Body And Soul,” “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You”) and Monk favorites (“Monk’s Dream,” “Nutty,” “Bye-Ya”), forces us to ponder the question offered up by the label: “Without a widely agreed must-have Monk release, could this fill the void as the Monk everyone should own?” Listen for yourself, but the simplest answer tends to be the right one. Indie exclusive MONO pressing on clear vinyl (If you ever see a jazz record pressed on wax that isn’t either black or clear, stay away) restored from the original lost tapes, mastered and cut using Gearbox’s entirely analogue process and blessed by the Monk estate. Recommended.
- lost album from Thelonious Monk available for the first time ever
- indie-exclusive clear vinyl edition
- includes printed insert with liner notes by Stephen Graham, Ethan Iverson + Darrel Sheinman
- limited to 500 copies
- music label: Gearbox 2018
