T H A N K Y O U to all who have contributed information, without you much of the history of New Zealand music would go untold.
This website is an active set of pages with constant improvements as people send me corrections and additions. Please feel free to add anything you can or even make suggestions.
I would like to make special thanks to John Smith for his wonderful help in providing me with many of the album cover pictures shown on this site. He has a massive collection of covers and supplemented with my own, we hope to show a comprehensive display of all artists covered on this site.
