"Can you feel it? My funky sensation."…read more -Gwen McRae Anyone sleeping on The Funk Freaks is dreaming. This record store puts most specialty or niche record stores in their place. The vinyl collection consisted exclusively of knockers, slappers, bangers, and heaters. I saw all of the essentials when I dug through the inventory here: Kano, James Brown, D-Train, Vaughan Mason, Graham Central Station, Hot Cuisine, The Strikers, Secret Weapon, and etcetera. Any Prelude, any Sutra, any Westend--Funk Freaks just might have it. I was pleasantly surprised. The customer service earned all the stars I can give too. Loser and Debo managed the kind of authentic professionalism and good humor that most franchises try foolishly codify in a handbook. Congeniality can't be fabricated, and neither can The Funk! Loser played me a copy of Jammin' Big Guitar by Vaughan Mason, and Debo shared a few polished anecdotes about The Funk Freaks' latest tour in Berlin. Neither man was just chilling in the store though. What is most impressive about The Freaks is their assiduous promotion of all that is FUNK FREAKS. Debo and Loser were unpacking several boxes of black sweaters featuring the notorious FUNK FREAKS graffiti that has now garnered international acclaim for Loser, Debo, Unique, Luer, Ney, Bosoe, Irene R., Clos, Lil Man, Phree, Groove, Aysai, and the rest of THE FUNK GANG. Loser only stopped moving merchandise to sell a Funk Freaks t-shirt to a woman who wanted a Funk Freaks shirt for her 2 year old. They're never too young for the Funk. The mother was in such a rush she forgot her credit card; without hesitating, Loser sped down the stairs, the shop is on the 2nd floor, stopped the mother in the lot and handed her the card. I seldom see that level of sheer effort made just to ensure a customer's satisfaction. These guys are freaks in word and deed. They go out of their way to put the classic funk in the correct hands. Do me favor. If you are a Funk Freak, or a Funk fan, please take me with you to the store when you go. I left hours ago, and I already want to be back there with The Freaks where The Funk belongs. In all seriousness: message me before you go. I need to pick up a Parliament single I should not have left there. Please do not go to see The Freaks without me. I need the Funk. I got to have that Funk!

Super cool shop!! I have been in many record stores in my life and this one was really nice…read more Everything is neat & organized. The man behind the counter was really friendly. Lots and lots of records, cassettes, clothing all pretty reasonably priced. I loved their selection of stickers & buttons in a glass case. I like how they have the shop laid out & displayed for the customers. I saw a bin full of band stickers that were .50 cents or 3 for a $1! I bought 15 stickers of various bands, the Stones, Queen, Genesis etc. My daughter got a $2 large button of Robert Plant. Didn't buy any records this time around but I'm happy with my stickers HaHa. I wish this shop was in my neighborhood I'd be going all the time. If you are in the area go check out their huge selection I'm sure you'll enjoy the place and maybe grab a bargain or two.

Wow, what a gem located in downtown Tustin. We wandered in and found ourselves in…read morerecord/vinyl/collector heaven! This is a small place packed to the gills with the best stuff. Lots of records, cassette tapes, cds, and comic books. There's some tshirts, stickers, pins, coasters, and the funniest cards (birthday, engagement, wedding, etc) with very funny/ silly and mildly inappropriate humor and drawings (but so fun!). There's lots of collectible toys and goodies all over. It feels so fun inside. You can tell the owner is a true collector and the store reflects that. It is packed but not overwhelming (does NOT feel like a junk store). Everything is well ordered and neat. If you love music please come support this shop. It's a gem!

Metal Babe Mayhem Rocks!…read more I absolutely love Metal Babe Mayhem! Their rock and metal merchandise is unique, stylish, and full of Alison's personality. The quality is excellent, and you can tell that her true love for rock 'n' roll goes into what she offers. The shipping was incredibly fast, and my order arrived quickly and exactly as expected. I'm very impressed with the personal touch of Alison, including small gifts like a MetalBabe pin and sticker, for free!! If you're a metalhead, rocker, or simply love bold and badass designs, Metal Babe Mayhem is definitely worth checking out. Amazing products, fast shipping, great style, and serious rock 'n' roll attitude! Highly recommend Metal Babe Mayhem!

I love buying from local stores and shops in Fullerton there is so much history and so many places to check out. Black Hole should be considered a local institution for heavy punk, new wave, Brit pop and alternative music lovers. When I was looking for the obscure bands that the radio and Hollywood would not play or give love to I could always count on Black Hole records to fill that void of artistic need for the different and not the mundane. Bill is very knowledgeable when it comes to music and you can easily spend hours talking to him about music. He also has a band called naughty women check them out. It beats waiting for albums to come in the mail from Amazon crime.
