The title says it all, really. Sweet Folk and Country was the record label of a company called Sweet Folk All, which operated out of Erith, in Kent. It was run by Joe Stead, and it specialised in recordings of British Folk and Country artists, though it put out a few Jazz albums as well. It lasted from 1973 into the early / mid '80s, issuing more than one-hundred-and-twenty records in the process. The vast majority of its products were albums, but it released a few EPs and at least one single, which seem to have sold in limited quantities. Numbering for albums and EPs appears to have been in an shared SFA-000 series at first, but after it reached SFA-005, in 1974, a separate SFC-001 series was adopted for EPs and an SFC-1000 one for singles. The numbers SFA-004 and 005, which were initially used for EPs, seem to have been reused for albums. Manufacture of Sweet Folk & Country's 7" records appears to have been done by Linguaphone in the main, with distribution of some items latterly was by JSU. The 'Discography' below lists the few Sweet Folk & Country 7"s I have been able to trace. I suspect that there aren't many others, if there are any at all.
