"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 groundbreaking Brazilian albums from one of the OG's of the Tropicalia movement. Originally released in Brazil in 1976, Tom Ze's Estudando O Samba or "Studying The Samba" is anything but a straightforward samba album. Tom Ze pushes the sonic envelope on this post-Tropicalia excursion, experimenting with layers of hypnotic percussion laden with effects & samples that work to deconstruct the "samba" form. It's a tripped-out, well-arranged album that slightly reminds me of some of Caetano Veloso's more "out-there" stuff (check out the 1973 album Araçá Azul). Estudando O Samba was recorded during what was arguably Ze's most creative period and has recently been featured in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Brazilian Albums of All Time". Ze and his music would have been lost to the world if it weren't for David Byrne, who was pivotal in the artist's revival in the late 80's early 90's. Byrne was traveling around Brazil and pulled this album out of the samba section of a Rio de Janeiro record store. This purchase kick-started a now 30 year journey that has seen Tom return to music and touring full-time (he was also the first artist signed to Byrne's Luaka Bop Label). This is an album that will transport you to a gentle place but at the same time have you scratching your head at times thinking "is that a typewriter he's sampling right now?" As original copies of this record are reaching close to $300 for a clean copy, this fully licensed pressing is your best bet to own a pivotal piece of Brazilian musical lore. 12 tracks in all, released by Mr Bongo. Recommended.
