Jacaranda Records revealed around £4,000 worth of vinyl records were affected by flooding at its Baltic Triangle site earlier this month.The independent retailer is now selling the damaged stock at a reduced price in a bid to recover some of the losses. In a post shared on Instagram, Jacaranda Records director Graham Stanley said: “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.”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.”As of tomorrow (Thursday, June 25), we’re going to be selling all the damaged records for £10 each.”You can grab them down at Jacaranda Baltic – 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.”The discounted records will be available to purchase from Jacaranda Baltic, with customers able to pick up vinyl releases whose outer sleeves have been affected by water damage while the records themselves remain playable.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 occupies 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.For the latest news and breaking news visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/newsGet all the big headlines, pictures, analysis, opinion and video on the stories that matter to you by signing up to our daily and breaking newsletter.Sign up to our breaking news newsletter here.Follow us on Twitter @LivECHONews – the official Liverpool ECHO Twitter account – real news in real time.We’re also on Facebook/theliverpoolecho – your must-see news, features, videos and pictures throughout the day from the Liverpool ECHO.
