Probe Records

Probe Records began trading in Liverpool in January 1971, founded by Geoff Davies in Clarence Street. It became closely associated with the city’s underground, punk and independent music scenes and later moved between several premises before settling at the Bluecoat on School Lane. The shop stocks independent rock, punk, electronic, jazz, reggae and less mainstream releases, alongside reissues and music from local artists. Its history includes links with former employee Pete Burns and the Probe Plus label. The present location is a central stop for visitors interested in Liverpool’s music history beyond the Beatles.
