Sarah Records was a UK independent record label, best known for its recordings of twee pop. Bands on the label included Heavenly, The Field Mice, Another Sunny Day, and St. Christopher.
The label was formed in Bristol, England, 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 its hundredth issue. 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.
