What a uniquely cool spot to hang out at. I was in the area during Easter visiting family, so I…read morefigured I'd explore and see what was out here. I looked up "records" on Yelp since I've been looking to rebuild my music collection with the termination of Spotify. It's got this old school arcade vibe, but there's a small rack with CDs, a section for records, another section for manga, merch and t-shirts in the back, and old school video games, consoles, and other stuff you can buy. There are two cabinets that allow you to pick games that you want to play, but don't take too long or you'll lose your credit. These games take quarters, so that's my gripe and what the minus one star is for. The workers here are cool and chill. There's a vending machine for snacks. I'll probably come by again one day when I'm in the area. It reminds of of the small arcades back in the day, so it's a nice trip to Nostalgia Town. There were two buddies who came in and got what sounded like was $20 worth of quarters to play. That was really awesome to hear a big chunk of quarters get dispensed. Have fun if you go!

On my last visit, Liz helped me out, and she was awesome. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to make some excellent recommendations based on what I was looking for. It's always nice to shop somewhere that feels welcoming, and her enthusiasm for music really made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by if you're a record collector or just looking to discover something new!

The line was absolutely biblical but undeterred I decided to wait and wait some more. Yes, I regret nothing. Located after downtown Covina, Kaos Records is in a large strip mall with what on a regular day would be plenty of parking. Once inside I found a good medium sized record store that specializes in 80s new wave and punk. There's lot of posters, clothing and other memorabilia here. On a regular day I'd be digging through the bins for sure. The signing was handled really well. The boys of the Alain Whyte band were super friendly and personable, which was part of the problem. Everyone wanted to chat them up while us latecomers were sweating it up outside lol. But once inside all the heat was forgotten. All the employees were super cool and kept us updated every step of the way. 40 years in business so they're definitely doing something right. I'll definitely be returning to check out what they have. There's a few holes in my collection I think they could definitely fill. Great store! Highly recommended!!!

While that might be true lol, that doesn't change the fact that they are selling it for half his price. Walked out immediately, don't trust this shop. As a general rule, if a retro game shop doesn't have prices listed and only tells you when you ask = red flag. Go to retro teyoh's they don't need to lie to make money.

Great service from Dan in the front; I had an issue with a small chip in a new record I purchased…read morethat wasn't readily apparent until I'd opened it. I came back a few days later with the receipt and Dan was able to exchange it for a new copy when I came in, no problem. All staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and they have an excellent selection of records available. The only small caveat I have is that the hours listed online are not accurate. They are not open Mondays and Tuesdays. This was not a problem for me since I live fairly close by, but I think it would be helpful for other customers if the online hours reflected this. Regardless, I'm very happy with the service I received and I'll be coming back.

As soon as we walked in, there was a live stream going on, and the cashier came across pretty loud and a bit intimidating, at least from my teenager's perspective. To keep things simple, I just told him to grab what he was looking for and we'd head out. While he browsed, I ended up finding a couple of records for myself too. The shop itself is really cool and has a unique vibe, different from other record stores I've visited. It's not your typical setup, which makes it stand out in a good way. I also noticed the building is a historic landmark. All in all, it was a unique experience, and I'm glad we stopped in.
