    Destruction: Release From Agony

    Great shop and perfect for metal and punk music. Also, they are honest about labeling their records if they are unofficial or not, which is a plus! 5/5

    Depeche Mode

    Small eclectic record store that's well curated with some nice finds, I'm glad it's back open after Covid, owner just made a big trip to Japan and is bringing back lots of records, I was happy to see a good selection of Depeche Mode records

    I often go hunting for records on vacation or when I get a little extra cash from the holidays and I sure do get my money's worth in this shop! I have been a costumer for going on 3 years now and it's always my first stop when in LBC. I live about a hour away but make the day my way out beee because I know the selection and prices are worth the distance. Thank you for bringing live music to the community we need more DIY safe spaces like your It's nice to have a friendly owner as well as knowledgeable employees it makes supporting a business more personal. It's a nice environment with the sweetest reside dog named Toast. I will be recommending you to friends and family locally and when visiting town! Happy New Year. Update *went to see tsunami bomb and had the best time!, what a great venue next door! Thanks again!* -Beth

    The owner, Andy, rules!  Super knowledgeable, rare product, great prices.

    If you've lived in Long Beach for any length of time, you undoubtedly know of Fingerprints. After…read more30+ years, it is undoubtedly the largest music store in Long Beach, and one of the largest in SoCal. We were there for Record Store Day. Loved the special deals they offered that day and having the chance to listen to a few bands over the course of the day (and get some merch signed!). I think their old store was better for listening, since there was a clear area for the audience--in the current store, we were tucked between shelves of merchandise--but it still worked and we had no problem seeing or hearing the bands. I particularly enjoyed seeing Violet Grohl and her band that day. Dave Grohl was there, but as a member of the audience. It was fun rocking out with him to his daughter's tunes (even if he was a couple of rows away). Love the staff. Rand, one of the owners, in particular, is incredibly knowledgeable. He also does a great job of lining up events and bands. We had such a great day at Fingerprints!

    I was there for the first time this past Saturday for the Violet Grohl show. The band was amazing…read more The reason I'm giving two stars is because there was no line control outside. Patrons were cutting in line and arguing and no one from the store was helping. Employees were told several times and they just didn't seem to care and nothing was said to anyone causing the disturbances. When I called today and told the person about what went on, I believe he said his name was Brandon, he said that people need to be better in line and not cut because they were really busy and did their best. I went there to have fun and not to fend off people cutting in line or arguing with each other. Also, the reason I gave two stars is because I ordered an album online from their store that was exclusive to Record Store Day and the order went through and my credit card was charged. I was very excited since that album was sold out everywhere. Two days later, I get an email from Fingerprints saying they are out of stock and canceled the order. When I called and asked, the explanation was the "count was off" and they sold more than they had. My experience with this store has not been good except for the actual concert that took place inside of it. He said sorry you had a bad experience and that was that. No offer to try to get me the album I ordered. I also had to ask when I'll get my credit card charge back. I'm still unclear about that. Look, I know this store is busy and especially right now because of Record Store Day but to let customers order actually go through and for two days let them think they're getting what's sold out everywhere just to tell them oh we made a mistake with the count, is just not good business. I was counting on them.

    I love the great vinyl tpab came in great condition love it so much better than my old record storeread more

    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.

    It's so great to see an electronic dance music record shop thriving in Long Beach! 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!
