SWAN
RECORDS

Independent label: Swan Records was from Swansea, operative in the late '70s and early '80s.  Only three of the records on the Swan label that I have seen listed were seven-inchers.  Audrey Squires's version of 'Without You' (SW-101) and 'Londonderry Air' by Keith Gordon (SW-102) were both singles, and there was a Various Artists EP called 'Swansea Sound Themes' (SW-104; 1976).  Singles, EPs and albums shared the same SW-100 catalogue numbering.  The label's output was heavy on Club / Cabaret singers, which suggests that it was a custom recording concern; an album of church bells recorded in the Winchester district of Hampshire, 'Centenary Bells' (SW-114; 1979), provides a more unusual item.  Audrey Squires recorded for other labels such as Cambrian and Klub; presumably her Swan recordings were self-financed.  The single shown looks like an Orlake pressing, as does the 'Swansea Sound Themes' EP.
