• Produced at Legendary Studios: Recorded and inspired by sessions at iconic locations such as Rockfield Studios and Sain's original studio in Llandwrog.

A New Chapter in Sain Records’ Legacy

This album comes at a momentous time for Sain Records, which recently completed a historic digitization project, preserving their 55-year catalogue in partnership with the National Library of Wales. As co-founder Dafydd Iwan puts it:

“Imagine discovering over 50 years of Welsh popular music, almost all unknown to you before. This is the result – a kaleidoscope of sounds to encapsulate a half-century of Welsh music.”
