Welcome to SCM Records

We offer a wide range of professional services for touring artists, or for any artist or label looking for an outlet and publicity for their music in the UK.

Retail

The storefront for SCM Records is the Smart Choice Music mail order and online store, providing access to imported CDs and DVDs for an international customer base, focused on the UK and mainland European markets, and is one of the few remaining independent online stores.

Smart Choice Music has built its reputation on making imported music from independent artists available alongside mainstream releases in primarily, but not limited to, the Country and Americana genres. Direct day-to-day contact with artists, labels, venue promoters and advertisers gives SCM Records a unique placing and recognition within the UK music industry.
