Great record shop. Every time I'm in there I find something that I didn't expect to find. It's like a treasure hunt. Great selection of new titles and a decent curated selection of used/rare stuff too. They also have a small selection of various VHS, vintage video games, cds, etc. read more

Love supporting this cute, small local business. Owner is great and very helpful and personable. The whole street this business is located on is lined with the most precious little shops. The first few times I visited Annapolis I wasn't even aware of this street. I'm so happy we discovered it on our last trip this December. read more

The owner is really responsive on Facebook, was able to get a new release (even when they only had one copy!) and they even put it aside for me to come get. I had a great experience here and will definitely take all of my business here instead of huge retailers like target :) read more

I love this place, it's very well organized and very accessible. The owner knows a lot about his stock and can always give you a very honest and fast answer. Most of the records I've bought have been very high quality and very worth the money. If you live around Annapolis or you're just swinging around the area, this is a go-to spot. read more

One of the best record stores I've ever been to, you can tell Matt loves what he does... I've bought records from him at the store and through mail-order and I've been satisfied each and every time! I can't wait till this Covid stuff is over so I can spend some time there going though the bins. I couldn't imagine anyone who loves records NOT having an amazing experience at this store! read more

Great record shop in Maryland. Their owner Matt does a great job at welcoming people into his store. I've shopped here on a few past record store days as well and the experience is always incredibly positive. Also, Matt goes out of his way to order records for you that he may not have in stock. read more

Was in the area visiting with a friend when we stopped by and took a look. I could have been in there for hours. So much stuff jam packed in there! Prices were a little higher than I would've liked for some vinyl but the selection was phenomenal and there were good deals in the discount bins and the $1 bins too. Will definitely be back when I'm next in Nap Town! read more

We were in here earlier today just to stop by. I've been here several times with friends and sometimes alone too. I really like Ka-Chunk because it's not a huge place, it's smaller so it feels less stressful to browse through. There are many options to choose from! I'm convinced they have every single artist available. They also have a little section with 1$-5$ records! I always enjoy looking through that section. In the back there are pictures for sale, and near the front they also have stickers, books, pins, and patches! read more

I visited this record store while visiting the area and it did not disappoint. There's a variety of records to choose from with something for every type of music fan. I loved the arcade machines and the artwork. The employee who rang me up was very nice. I'd definitely visit again. read more

KA-CHUNK!! Records - Oasis - Vinyl Records Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Make Kachunk Great Again! Wow haven't experienced such unwelcoming staff especially that guy on the computer. Not sure if this place is just a front for something else more sinister. Came in to sell some of my vintage LPs & 45s ranging back to the 1940s: mainly pop, country, rock & roll. Was told that these records were not mine and that people like me don't listen to music like that from those time. Regardless the color of my skin my soul can absorb the magic from all form of music. I will not be returning ever to this place especially when all their products are cheaper on Amazon. Wish this guy cared more about music and not division. read more

Wonderful local record store in Annapolis. It was full of locals. Always full of people, because the shop is stacked with good records and the staff is friendly. Lots of new albums, lots of used albums, lots of selection. New pop albums like Taylor Swift...check. Indie label goodies...yup. Reissues of your favorite stuff from 1990's high school...you know it. Rare pressings of masterings of unreleased Steve Albini mixes that sound super weird and cool and you didn't even know existed...uh huh. Good tunes bleeding out onto the street as you walk in. The owner Matt is very helpful and knowledgeable with our being too much or a gatekeeper. Everyone is cool enough to shop here. Great for someone just getting started, someone getting back into it, or anyone really. They keep a good stock of record players and starter speakers as well. Glad I found this place. Being a new local, it's awesome to be able to support a local small business that earns the support and good reviews through hard work and doing things right. read more

This place is great. The owner is super nice and friendly. They've taken Covid precautions very seriously which is important for me.

Even though I've moved away I still follow Ka-Chunk online and will purchase from Matt again next time I'm shopping for vinyl. I purchased multiple times during Covid, both in person and over email. Both transactions were super simple and good value. When we visited the shop Matt was very careful and safe and my family had a great time browsing for records meeting all our needs. read more

Love the vibe at Ka-Chunk. The staff is always helpful and even though I've moved away, I continue to buy directly from them. Records are always shipped safely and arrive quickly. I've found some killer stuff in the sale bins, including one of my all time favorite stand up routines. The owner remembers my taste and lets me know of cool stuff he has in stock that lines up. He'll even remind me of a request I've made weeks ago when he gets something in stock. 100% will continue to shop here despite moving away. read more

Great selection and atmosphere. Owner is accommodating and friendly. I can honestly say this is the best record store I've ever been to

Such a great and adorable record store. Owner or cashier was super helpful when my dad had questions. They always make you feel welcome and know their stuff. This is absolutely one of my favorite small businesses in the area. read more

They have a great selection of new and used vinyl at Ka-Chunk. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly. They also have other stuff like video games and some CDs and books. I try to stop by whenever I'm in downtown Annapolis. read more

Was visiting the area to check out Fox's Books just down the street when I was pleased to find this local record shop was very close by. Got in right as they opened on a busy Saturday afternoon for the area and was immediately pleased by the great selection and good choice of tunes played in the store. The place filled up quick! Was able to find some really great scores at highly reasonable prices (especially compared to Amoeba in CA). Great ambience, solid selection, friendly owner. What more could you want from a local shop? Also worth noting: apparently domestic shipping is $5 a flat rate! read more

Made several purchases from Ka-chunk and the experience has always been one of the best. Fair deals on used and new releases. Keep the jazz albums stocked! read more

Love this shop! Staff is friendly and informative. Always a cool selection of new and used records. My kid loves the vintage arcade game while I comb through stacks and stacks. Pricing is really reasonable and most trips there's a box of freebies at the entrance - don't mind if I do! Definitely had a local staple. read more

Love this store right in the middle of town. Great selection, great atmosphere and very good prices. They care about their community and especially their customers. I try to get to the store at least once a year and check them out at events they do like Analog-Go-Go at Dogfish. If you are an OG vinyl collector or new to the game, stop by here- you will never be disappointed. read more

This place is great. Eclectic selection of music and you can tell the owner is a real fan of the scene.

I love Kachunk! It's fun to browse just because, but if you're looking for something in particular Matt can help you out. If its not in the shop he'll order it for you. Visit next time you're in town! read more

Record stores died years ago, or so I thought. Walking into KA-CHUNK!! is like stepping into a time machine. I'm immediately back in high school buying way to many records. Matt greets me by my name, even though I'm barely recognizable behind a mask. Occasionally he'll pull a coveted record from behind the counter, just because I may have casually mentioned it on social media. It's fun to browse the bins like in the old days. So go buy records at KA-CHUNK!! because this record store is alive well & well and located on the coolest street in Annapolis. read more

Ka-Chunk is a totally rad analogue shop for analogue nerds like me. Whenever I go in for something specific, I leave with five other awesome records or Bill Murray decals I had no idea existed. Ka-Chunk is like a portal to a simpler time, like an island, an island that can somehow shift through time and space and is plagued by a somewhat flaccid cloud of black smoke. read more

I come to this store regularly since moving to Annapolis about 6 years ago. Every time I get three things: something old, something new, and great hospitality. I love when I can't find what I'm looking for, the folks that work there are incredibly helpful. They've been excellent with covid protocols, especially on Record Store Day. read more

My husband wanted a record player for Christmas, I had questions, so shipped local. Guy working (pretty sure he was the owner) was super informative, didn't try to oversell me the most expensive player he had in stock. Also bought a couple records to go with the player. There was a huge selection of records, of every kind! It was fun to look through, reminded me of high school! I could have stayed all day! Thanks! read more

Good selection of new and used vinyl. I was about to purchase a new copy of an album when the owner mentioned they had a used copy. Saved me some bucks. Thanks. read more

KA-CHUNK!! Records - Vinyl Records Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I grew up in Annapolis and had access to several good local record stores, especially the once amazing Annapolis Record Exchange. Over the years my friends and I spent many hours searching and buying hundreds of albums, most of which we still own today. But then world turned to CDs and later downloads and... One by one the record stores closed up shop, though around where I live in New England a few have managed to hold on. Fast forward a decade or two later and I was back in MD (May 2018) to visit family, and I became aware of Ka Chunk records, so I thought I'd check them out. Actually I arranged to have my two other music buying fanatic friends to meet me there and we not disappointed! I think we spent at least an hour and a half browsing and each left with 5-6 albums and big smiles on our faces. Great selection! Given the smallish space it's amazing they could get so much in there, including a lot of harder to find stuff. Exactly the kind of store that made record shopping a fun and social activity back in the day! Prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. After I went I found out my 17 year niece shops there too; a good sign that these guys are really doing something right! read more

Awesome service from an awesome dude who is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to vinyl and music in general. You can pick up virtually any record in the store and Matt might start a friendly chat about the artist. Not to mention, if the store doesn't have what you're looking for, he'll happily order it for you. This is literally my favorite place to shop in Annapolis. read more

My favorite record store! In fact, my favorite any kind of store! I've been coming hear for years now. I've spent many a RSD hanging here over the years and am never disappointed. Thanks to Matt and Ka-Chunk, I have found some great records that me and my girls love to listen to. Writing this review, reminds me that I need some more records!! PS...I love me some records! read more

Love, love, love this place! The guys are super helpful and there is an awesome selection browse through. And, if the don't have what you're looking for they are happy to help you try and find it or point you in the best direction to find it. The place has a great feeling and I love not being asked a thousand times if someone can help me. I don't alway have a preconceived purchase in mind when I walk in, but I've never left empty handed. Definitely recommend to anyone that finds themselves in the Annapolis area. read more

Easily my favorite place in the Annapolis Harbor! Just started getting into record collecting and this store has a lot of vinyls I can't find online. The staff is always welcoming and the vibe truly can't be beat. I picked up Vices and Virtues by Panic! At the Disco and Phoebe Bridges Punisher, I highly recommend you visit Ka-Chunk!! Records as soon as you can :) read more

This isn't just a record store. This place is the central hub for a community of people who love music. The owner keeps the shop stocked with a diverse selection and you can tell he really cares about his patrons. During the pandemic, he has practically bent over backwards to make it easy for people who cannot shop in person to still be able to purchase the music they love. He even took special orders on record store day so promotions could be available to both patrons who wanted to shop in person and those who could not because of health issues. I really respect this level of care and inclusiveness. That's why I always stop by when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

As brick and mortar record shops begin to fade away it's good to know that Ka Chunk is holding it down in Annapolis. It's not quite the closest destination for DMV diggers but it is great if you're in the area. Most of the records in the bins are new or reissues with a smaller used section with decently priced records in great condition. Love the walls lined with records to showcase the album art. The $1-5 bin is a small section near the register but there are some good finds in good condition for a good price so it's worth a look. There's also a nice island of 45s/7" with some cool used soul/funk 45s that won't decimate your pocketbook. If you're a record collecter/lover and you're in the area be sure to stop in and check it out. read more

Best little shop around. Great selection and helpful friendly service. Always fun to come in here and find something for my growing vinyl collection. read more

My vote for best vinyl record store in the state. Great, organized collection of new and used at fair prices. This is a great asset to the community, and I have to stop in the every time I'm in town. I also love their social media posts. read more

Stopped in driving down the east coast. Good selection of new vinyl. Not a lot of used vinyl, which is typical post - Covid. Matt is a super cool dood; he is friendly and helpful. his used stuff is priced a little high but I found that he will work with you if you buy a couple hundred dollars worth of music. Solid! read more

Good selection of old records for $ 3. Plus, good selection of original pressed vinyl. Non pretentious. Good coffee across the street. read more

Been here a couple of times now hunting and they have the best selection of NEW (and remastered) vinyl around. I've also found some awesome stuff in the $1-$3 bargain bins and the decent sized used section.. the reviewer looking for Madonna who left a negative review clearly doesn't understand how used sections of record stores work. The owner is an extremely nice guy. We talked about some newer math rock, and he made an awesome recommendation that I ended up picking up. He even threw me a couple of bargain records for free just because I've become a regular customer. Highly recommend this place if you want new vinyl without paying online shipping fees or if enjoy the hunt of bargain used vinyl. read more
