Sword & Shield Recording Co. was located at 406 W. Main, Arlington, Texas. They recorded sacred music. The label was black with silver print, with the S&S logo at the top. Later, they changed to a red label with silver print, then a white label with black print, with the same graphics.

Sword & Shield was owned by brother-and-sister team Calvin and Lou Wills, of the Singing Wills Family. The Gatlin Quartet, one of the label's artists, eventually evolved into the Gatlin Brothers country act, featuring Larry Gatlin.

Few of the Sword and Shield albums appear to have been issued in stereo. Those we know were issued in stereo are noted by the "LPS" prefix being added to the mono catalog number below. The numbering system used quite a few different series, many of which were active at the same time.
