This is Auckland Alternative band Figure 60's first vinyl release. They had issued several cassette only releases before this. I have been told they released a couple of Geraldine etched polycarbonate records as well. Unfortunately I do not have information about these. If can shed light on them please leave a comment.

Record Sleeves

 

We would like to announce the launch of our sister site - New Zealand Record Sleeves. The site's aim is to provide information about the generic record company sleeves used for New Zealand pressed and distributed 7" vinyl 45s records. It is designed for record collectors who would like to match the correct sleeve with their records.

 

More Record labels will be added in the coming months. There are some gaps (and possible mistakes) so if you can add a correct date or sleeve please leave a commit or email us.
