Jacaranda Records is a Liverpool-based independent record store and live music venue operator founded in 2015 by Graham Stanley. Headquartered at the historic Jacaranda Club on Slater Street, the 1958 venue associated with launching The Beatles on their early careers, the company currently operates across two locations including The Jacaranda in the Liverpool city centre and Jacaranda Baltic in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle. Originally established during the 2010s vinyl revival, the company is known for its hybrid operation of live music and music retail across both its venues, as well as its former enterprises in spatial audio technology as part of a record label of the same name. Jacaranda Records has also been involved in several grassroots initiatives with local Liverpool businesses and educational institutions, seeking to forge a link between Liverpool's music heritage and the city's emerging talent. Founded by Graham Stanley who took over as managing director in 2014 amidst the 2010s vinyl revival boom, the store opened on 29 June 2015 on the first floor of the Jacaranda's Slater Street venue following a six month period of refurbishment. Historically the same space was previously occupied in the 1950s by jazz record store Syd's Disk Den. The store adopted several unusual retail features, taking key inspiration from Jack White's Third Man Records. Like Third Man, Jacaranda featured a working 1948 Mutoscope Voice-o-Graph machine which allowed customers to record approximately three minutes of audio, later to be cut and pressed in store. In a 2015 interview with Stanley and then booking manager Joe Maryanji, plans were made to extend the machine's capabilities to record live shows in The Jacaranda's basement performance space. In 2022 Jacaranda produced a series of videos showcasing touring musicians utilising the Voice-o-Graph, inaugurating the series with a performance from Frank Turner. Jacaranda's first period of expansion began with the opening of Phase One i
