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. Distributed By
Swan Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
