The service is just amazing. I was with my grandson and he wanted to buy some vinyl for his mommy was not sure what she would like. The woman who took care of us was so nice to him and they looked and looked and he noticed some covers with photos and recognized the artists--he is speech delayed--and pointed to those and the two of them made two great choices. His mommy was so pleased. They also have CDs, cassettes, Tee shirts and other items. The store is not huge, but big enough to find what you want and the prices are very reasonable. We can't wait to go back.

There's a huge and decent selection of $5 and under vinyl in bins as soon as you walk in. I found several used albums to add to my collection and they were all in great condition. My 13 year old son also enjoyed perusing the records and kept bugging me to get him the Labyrinth soundtrack, Beastie Boys' "Licensed to Ill" and a Queen compilation but those were all more expensive and I'd just rather we select from the $5 and under bin. The owner was lively and helpful and there's definitely a lot to look at in there from records and CD's to posters, stickers and a collection of colored pens. If you're a record collector like I've recently become, you'll definitely want to stop on in at Dudley's. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Really liked the 5$ and less selection of records when you walk in. Also not just records but cassettes, shirts, stickers, etc. Mostly music related but even some classic movie items. A bit larger than the previous location and located on Hawthorne Blvd., inside a shopping center. Plenty of parking. Hope to return next time I'm in the area. p.s. I believe it's cash only if the total price is less than 10/20 dollars. I unfortunately forget which.

The two most salient facts I need to include here about this brand-spanking-new beaut of a record…read morestore are as follows: 1. This store is owned by Hector W. This man is the resident DJ at an event called Funky Sole, which occurs regularly on Sunset Blvd. 2. DJ Dennis Owens of The Good Foot at Alex's Bar is going to work at this record store. These two men are obviously exceptionally knowledgeable on the topics of funk music, soul music, and record sales. I am not as familiar with Hector, the owner, but I was present for the grand opening. Hector effected a calm, professional demeanor and managed to pull off a truly grand opening. The inventory of the store really soulidified my opinion of Hector. I saw countless essential and rare records from all major genres. The crate diggers came out for this one, and the inventory at Twelves had them foaming in the New Arrivals section. Credit to Hector's music taste for the event's success. DJ Dennis Owens was, is, and will be as indispensable to Twelve's success as Hector. Dennis has extensive experience in the music industry, record sales, and vinyl collecting. I have seen him DJ a couple times now. The man is a turntable wizard. DJ Dennis knows all genres of music. His soul record sets are particularly exquisite. He did a guest DJ set at the opening, and he informed me he will be working Wednesdays at Twelves. Take it from me: take any and all pieces of advice or recommendations that DJ Dennis Owens gives. He is thoroughly involved in the world of DJ music and prides himself on remaining conversant in all things tunes. I repeat: listen to this guru. The decor really fit the music on sale and the sensibility of anyone who loves funky soul beats. I saw a few great promo posters from old soul concerts. The records sit neatly in unpretentious bins. One distinctly pretty piece of Keith Haring's art rests against the wall just above the cash register. That Haring poster really ties the whole record store together, and I hope it stays up there for years to come. I loved what I saw in the inventory too. Plenty of soul, funk, and disco hits. James Brown, Funkadelic, and Donna Summer were there. Ditto Brenton Wood. I ended up buying a couple 45s and one disco 12". DJ Dennis Owens nodded at one of my 45s because it was a copy of Funkadelic's "Not Just Knee Deep." Just one example of the funky goodness to be had at low cost in Twelves. I'll be back on the night train to acquire more Soul Power in the future.

Not too long…read moreago, house music events struggled to keep going, but DJs and party throwers from Secret Service and Subtract have done an amazing job creating a consistent and solid scene here these last several years. With growing popularity, enters Dakin to fill the void of a record store to meet EDM heads' needs! I was impressed to see such a large collection of used and rare house vinyl. I pulled out singles and EPs of OM records, Panhandle, Felix da Housecat, Masters at Work, Mark Farina, Naked Music, Collette and tons of other old house gems. Foot Work also carries techno, trance, drum n bass, and even some 90s hip hop. I love that you can listen to the records before you decide what you want to purchase. They also seem to prefer you left unwanted records in the crate, so they can make sure it gets returned in the correct section. It's bumping on Sundays with local djs taking turns on the ones and twos. Dakin is working on getting a beer and wine license, so it will definitely be a loungy hangout spot soon!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cool little record store specializing in dance music…read more I found out about this place from fellow Yelper Lynn O, who really knows her stuff. Couldn't pass up a rec like that, so at my next opportunity I ventured over to check it out for myself. The store is newly renovated with love and care, with a highly curated selection. Dakin, the owner, is very welcoming and personable, and was happy to make recommendations for me. I had a great time browsing the selection of records; there are new and used, with some of the used ones not being strictly of the dance genre, but very cool, nonetheless. As other reviewers have noted, there is a listening station with bins where you put the records you don't want so you don't mess up his system--very smart. I'd already had a coffee with me so I didn't partake of the free in-house coffee, but next time! Looks like he'll be able to serve beer and wine soon, so that should add another dimension to the store's experience. If you're a fan of dance and electronic music this is a must-visit!

They really have a lot of stuff. One of the main things about this shop is that the prices are not very high. Whereas some independent thrift stores tend to put a high dollar amount on their items, this is not the case with this shop. Thus, you can discover some really interesting and unique finds and not have to pay an exorbitant price for them. As can be expected, the shop has a wide variety of items. They have jewelry, books, electronics, clothing, you name it. You never know what you'll find here, and it is always evolving. In terms of parking, there's a lot of street parking in the area, so getting a spot should never be an issue. Overall, if you're in the area, this is a great store to come in and take a look, you never know what you'll find.
