So glad this record shop is in town! Excellent selection of new and used Vinyl as well as vintage cassette tapes and awesome shirts all around! Wish they had more metal but can't beat their selection! read more

Love Dudley's! I always find something that catches my interest and if I have something in mind that isn't in the store, they are happy to find and order it for me. Have referred a few vinyl enthusiasts here and we can all agree we're happy Dudley's opened up in the South Bay. read more

Really cool store! Amazing selection of vinyls and band t-shirts. Jesse's very friendly and knowledgeable about merchandise. Definitely recommend to friends! read more

If I could give a no star I would. Two people working - The assistant was helping one customer - I should say sucking up to a customer - The counter guy didn't even know what a gross was - I asked about inner sleeve protectors - After the glazed eyes wore off from the apparent bong hit he had, he stated we have some... But we only do bulk. Hey pal, what is 144 (Gross) - Is that not bulk? Anyway, no more wasting my breathe on this loser - The owner was standing behind a counter doing nothing. I was never greeted - I flipped through some LPs, many of which I have, and stated WOW, my collection is worth a lot more than I thought - Based on their $30 - $40/LP price..... Asked the owner if the had ever been to Recycled Records on 8th and PCH in Hermosa - He said "No". "Not from around here". I asked about turntable parts - Do they have any or know of anyone? Stonefaced stated "No". I come back after visiting and said your customer service is not great and needs some work - He said he was "working with another customer (who was not present) on a """big order" then asked if I thought I was more special then that customer - Who did not exist - I said no, I just want to be treated fairly like any customer - then proceeded to rant and yell trespass and then called the police. He called the police and stated he hates white people. What a F'n jerk. Bill, you know nothing about customer service...... Just read other reviews - This guy is a novice piece of $^$^ "3/27/2018 Don't buy from this guy. He buys from flea markets then resells for way too much. He is a complete novice and is taking advantage of people who don't know the going price of a record. He also puts the release dates on all of his records to deceive customers into thinking those are the pressing dates. I spend about 300-500 dollars on records every month, and visit local record shops frequently. My personal favorite shop is third eye records in Long Beach, and if you want to stay local to Torrance pm sounds has some cool stuff if you are into jazz. I was excited about seeing Dudley's shop opening because it is down the street from my house (that I own, bought from the business that I also own) but I must say it is the worst vinyl shop I have ever gone to. Read the owners reply to me, and see how he really is. Decides to insult the customer rather than taking constructive criticism. I wonder how long he'll be able to keep the doors open. Like I said don't waste your time, and money on this guy. You as the consumer deserve better. UPDATE: Why would I lie about about a record store? I love records, collecting, and crate digging. I am just writing an honest review based on my experience. I confronted the owner about him putting the release dates on used records being misleading and he replied no one has complained before. His updated and earlier reply to my review is a complete fabrication. There are plenty of vinyl shops. GO ELSEWHERE!!" read more

Love this store!! A friend mentioned there was a new place nearby to find vinyl. We used to haunt thrift stores, or make the trek to Hollywood or Culver City when we were in the market for records. This is a South Bay gem. So much to see you don't know where to look first. Records, posters, t-shirts and stickers. The owner Bill gives you amazing, personalized service. If he doesn't have the album you want, he can likely get it for you. From Logic to Sinatra, I recently came home with a treasure trove of records for the whole family. Thanks Bill, for this delightful blast from the past! read more

A little vinyl gem in the south bay. Fait prices, very helpful and if they do not have what you are looking for with a small down payment they will get it for you. Definitely will be back to this 80's style record store read more

One star for having a record store. Two stars is a reach - okay selection, not stellar, not broad; more like "I sell what I like." Not three stars, because there's no personal listening stations. Not four, because they use and recommend using Windex and paper towels to clean records. Not five, because they're really overpriced - anything you pick up is $10 - $40, averaging $25 for used records. read more

I've been to Dudley's a few times. Most times in and out with a couple of nice finds. But my last visit really didn't sit well with me. The last couple times it was just the younger gentleman. He stayed outta your way, but always checked in to see if you needed any assistance. Though this last go was with the older gentleman. He put off an uncomfortable vibe (if that's even a reviewable thing). He seemed to be watching my every move. Mind you, I'm in there with my 10yo son. So I don't necessarily match the description of someone who came in to steal. Eventually he came over to me and asked me what I was looking at because I took a record out of its sleeve to look at the condition. He then went on to flip the plastic protective cover around and then started to "explain" that it has to go a certain way so "people stay honest". Okay, fine and fair, but I'm standing right here man! There's literally no one else in the store. At best you should've waited until I was done or at least waited until I took one step away from that rack. Needless to say I probably won't return. Update: Just read the response to my review from William T. What a joke. My son is 10 years old. How many 10yo kids run amuck and behind counters?! Hahahaha. What a joke response. That wasn't me and it wasn't my situation at all. Even without that made up scenario William T's response is less of taking responsibility for his actions and more finger pointing towards the customer. Shows you how he thinks of his customers. Honesty apparently is not important to William T. read more

I am very disappointed with my visit to this store which opened up 6 months ago and is oh-so-close to where I live. First the pros: lots of parking, friendly staff, a decent selection of good music despite the limited amount of records, and they only sell records in decent condition. The cons; Hugely expensive, some of the records I bought had the large hard-to-remove price stickers right on the cover (!) and there is no listening stations to play the records before you buy them. As to the prices, Every record was expensive; no bargains here. New records, such as the Eight Days a Week double album you can buy on Amazon for $18.99 is $30.00 here. Another example is the Adolescents debut record reissue on blue vinyl was $30 at Dudley's, but can be bought for its $15.00 list price on the Frontier Records website - and practically every other store. Used records are seemingly priced at DIscogs plus 20%. Even promotional cut-outs! I spend about $150 a month on records, but it looks like I will keep spending it at Freak Beat. Even factoring in gasoline I will. still get nearly twice as many records. Final Words: if you love getting gouged at Amoeba in Hollywood stay in the South Bay and pay high prices here! read more

Dudley's is awesome. They didn't have what I was looking for in the store so they found it, ordered it and shipped it to me within a week. Excellent quality and service. I will definitely continue to shop there read more

Not realizing they specialize in vinyl, I came in looking for a few, specific titles on compact disc. No problem! Both of the guys working here helped me order exactly what I was looking for, and my order arrived just a few days later. I found their customer service to be very professional. I would buy from this store again. Too bad I'm not a vinyl collector; this would be the place to shop! read more

Great record store!! Prices are fair and the selection is great. Many different genres. The people there are friendly and knowledgeable. Don't understand how some of these reviews are only one star??? People there are great!! read more

A lot of good stuff in this shop. I was on my lunch break and stumbled across this place and ended up skipping my meal and instead left the store with 6 records, one of which was an original press of Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. I will definitely be going back soon. read more

So excited the South Bay has a record store again!! The prices are very competitive , great selection in a wide variety of genres and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They even have posters , band shirts , stickers and cds. A true music enthusiasts dream. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Best record store in town! Awesome people and awesome collection of vinyl. Go check it out for yourself you'll be surprised.

These guys know everything there is to know about vinyl! Bill has been collecting vinyl since he was four years old... he lives and breathes this stuff and can answer any of my questions. Their prices are great for the variety and rarity they offer! And if I ever need a perfect t-shirt to express my band affiliation they have a HUGE variety. Thanks for rockin', guys! read more
