S&T
RECORDS
Independent label: Paul Betts and Chris Freer
were friends living in Barrow-upon-Soar in Leicestershire. They previously
ran a Punk fanzine called Terminally Blitzed' which ran from September 1977 to
April 1978 and featured local and national bands. By 1979 they set up a new
fanzine, the title of which varied with each issue but was always "S+T" eg Sin
& Tonic, Smooth & Tight, Sorts & Type etc. They met up with Kevin
'Reverb' Bayliss and Mike 'Dawkeye' Dawkins. S+T Consortium Former Address: c/o
Street Music 28 Gopsall Street Highfields Leicester. Paul Betts decided to
form a record label and S+T Recordings was born. The four would pay all the
production costs and individual bands would pay their own recording
costs. They then split the records 50-50 and make our respective monies
back. A pub band called The Amber Squad got in touch. They came up with a
self-penned tracks as the first S+T single. Distributed By S+T
Records.
