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.
