SOUTHERNERS
A label owned by prominent British Folk Dance quintet The Southerners
Band. As well as recording for HMV and EFDSS (q.v.) The Southerners
put out several records, including at least one EP, on their own Southerners
label. The EP, 'Southerners Special' (LD SS-100) was the first release on
the label; it was issued in 1971. I have only been able to trace two
LPs, 'Let's Dance Country Style' (LDS-12; no date) and 'Know The Game' (KTG-12;
1975), though given the specialized nature of the music, and its consequent
Google-unfriendliness, there may well be more. Rather than employing
one set prefix for their catalogue numbers, as is generally the case, Southern
used initials from the title of the record, which doesn't help a would-be
discographer to hazard a guess at how many albums and EPs the company put out.
