Sarah Records
Sarah Records was a UK independent record label, best known for its recordings of twee pop. The label was formed in Bristol, in 1987 by Clare Wadd and her then boyfriend Matt Haynes.
The aesthetic of Sarah Records was grounded in the C86 jangly indie-pop sensibility, though some releases flirted with higher production values. It ceased operation with the release of a 'Best Of' compilation There and Back Again Lane, which was the hundredth release in Sarah's main catalogue sequence. Bands on the label included Heavenly, East River Pipe, The Orchids, Even As We Speak, Boyracer, Brighter, The Field Mice, Another Sunny Day and St. Christopher.
Haynes subsequently established Shinkansen Records, where many Sarah artists went on to record; he now co-edits a zine, Smoke, dedicated to writing and art inspired by London.
