Below is an incomplete discography of Jean Alford’s Alear Records label from Winchester, Virginia.

Most of the disks are country, except the Don Dupree is supposed to be doo wop backed by a girl group. Only the Smacks are garage rock as far as I know.

Publishing is usually either Alear Music or Pamper Music.

incomplete – any help would be appreciated

Gloria Megee wrote to me about her Alear single from 1978, “This Woman”, “Jim McCoy Studios, Buddy Charlton, steel; Roy Justis, fiddle; and John Kaparakis, guitar. It was well received on Big K [WKCW] when the old Tom Cat played it.”

Thanks to Max Waller, Graham, Dale from 45cat, Bob Perry, and Gloria Jean Megee for their help with the Alear discography.
