"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)

Wendy Rene may be a minor player in the expansive discoggraphy of Stax, but her impact long outlasted the mere five years of her musical career. Born in Memphis, She formed an R&B quartet named the Drapels with her brother when she was a teenager. On her way out from a fruitful audition with the group for Stax boss Jim Stewart, she showed him some of her own tunes and snagged a solo contract as well. “After Laughter (Comes Tears)” is her first and most enduring single, famously sampled by Wu Tang (“TEARZ”) and recently by Ariana Grande ("Fake Smile"). Covers by Alicia Keys and Lykke Li were so successful that she bought a house with the proceeds. (Excellent.) “Bar-B-Q” was an attempt at a novelty dance hit, Rene’s shout-singing reminding of (and predating) Michael’s work with the Jackson 5. Her naiveté is perfect match with the minimal, proto-reggae approach to the instrumentation. This two record set includes 11 singles, 9 rarities, and 2 unreleased tracks and is pressed on heavyweight black vinyl. Packaged in a Stoughton 'tip-on' gatefold sleeve with liner notes with a 12x12 booklet with an interview and rare photos.
- black double vinyl pressing
- "tip-on" gatefold sleeve with images of original 7" labels
- digital download included
- music label: Light In The Attic 2012
