CBS Coronet

In 1953 Philips Electrical Industries New Zealand Ltd required the rights to release the American label Columbia in New Zealand. His Master’s Voice (NZ) Ltd had the rights to the British label named Columbia and were already releasing records under the Columbia Records name in New Zealand. So Philips marketed the American Columbia label in New Zealand as CBS Coronet. In 1957 CBS Coronet started releasing singles in the seven inch 45 format.
