Jacaranda Records, an independent music retailer in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle, is selling flood-damaged vinyl records at a reduced price after a flood caused approximately £4,000 worth of damage to its stock earlier this month. The store is offering the affected records for £10 each, with only the outer sleeves damaged while the records themselves remain playable.
Flood damage and response
Graham Stanley, director of Jacaranda Records, announced the sale on Instagram, stating: "We've had a flood down at the Jacaranda Baltic and thousands of pounds worth of records have been damaged. Although it seems impossible looking at the weather today, earlier this month we had a huge flood at our Jacaranda Baltic site and £4,000 worth of records were damaged." He added: "As an indie record store obviously this is a massive blow to us but we're trying to make the best out of a bad situation."
The discounted records became available from Thursday, June 25, at the Jacaranda Baltic location. Stanley encouraged customers to visit, noting that the records themselves are unaffected: "Of course, it is only the sleeves that are damaged, the records themselves are absolutely fine. So why don't you come down and see if you can find something you like."
About Jacaranda Records
Jacaranda Records is one of Liverpool's best-known independent music retailers. Founded by Graham Stanley in 2015, the business operates from the historic Jacaranda venue on Slater Street as well as its Baltic Triangle site. The original Jacaranda has a special place in Liverpool's musical history, having been closely associated with the early careers of The Beatles.
In recent years, the business has expanded beyond its city centre roots, combining record retail with live music venues and artist events. Jacaranda Baltic opened in Cains Brewery Village in 2024 as the successor to popular venue Phase One. The venue features a record store alongside a 400-capacity performance space and has hosted album launch shows and intimate performances from a number of major artists.
