SWEET FOLK AND COUNTRY
The title says it all,
really. Sweet Folk and Country started life as Sweet Folk
All. It was run by Joe Stead, and it specialised in recordings of
British Folk and Country & Western bands, though it put out at least one
Jazz album, by Max Collie. It issued records from c.1973 onwards, and
survived into the early '80s. Most of its products were albums, but
it released a few EPs and at least one single, which sold in
limited quantities; thus it is far more often met in 12" form than in
7". Numbering appears to have been in an SFC-000 series for EPs
and an SFC-1000 series for singles; the 'SFA' prefix of Johnie Winch's 'Little
Woman' (SFA-004) seems to have been a misprint, as SFA was the prefix for albums
and there was an album with that number. Distribution latterly was by
JSU. Thanks to Robert Bowes for the first scan. The
'Discography' below lists the few Sweet Folk & Country 7"s I have been able
to trace.
