"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)

Ever the master trolls, D.O.A. was not actually Throbbing Gristle’s third album (Lab fact check team says #2, after the mostly skippable Second Annual Report, which is actually their debut), nor was it their final report. Far from it - according to Chris Carter, Throbbing Gristle was just getting started: “D.O.A. showcased some of our strongest work and established the course we would head in.” There’s hints of the glossy sound they would embrace on 20 Jazz Funk Greats, but still plenty of abrasive noise, weird guitar jams and gross shit like “E-Coli” and of course “Hamburger Lady,” which features Genesis P-Orridge reciting a letter sent to the band from a hospital worker about a severely disfigured patient that nobody could bear to look at without losing their lunch. What I love about TG is how efficient and democratic it was - not some idealistic frontman bossing around three mediocre hacks, instead 4 equally innovative artists empowering themselves to change the course of music forever. This aspect of the group is best realized on this record which, alongside more collaborative material, includes four solo tracks from each band member highlighting their individual styles and foreshadowing their subsequent projects. Sleazy’s lurching sound art piece “Valley Of The Shadow Of Death” teases some of his later conceptual work with Coil, Gen’s “Weeping” is a bizarre ballad with a bluesy twang, and Cosey’s “Hometime” is the closest thing to a sonic representation of the slightly unsettling scene depicted on the cover. In stark contrast to nearly every track that plays before it is Carter’s Kraftwerkian synthpop epic “AB/7A,” one of TG’s most sublime and realized sides. Watch out for “Dead On Arrival” and “Death Threats” as well. This 2019 Mute edition comes on transparent blue-green vinyl and includes a large 8 page booklet with extensive liner notes and press clippings. Recommended.
