Joe Brown

South Island label Joe Brown Records was owned by Joe Brown Enterprises. 

Joe Brown: 1960 to 1966

Originally Joe Brown Records were distributed by His Master's Voice (NZ) Ltd. Singles were issued in the 'wallpaper' plain sleeve.

Joe Brown: 1966 to 1976

In 1966 Joe Brown became self distributed. Singles were issued in a 'wallpaper' sleeve with Joe Brown printer on it. I am unsure how long this sleeve was used.

I am unsure if this company sleeve was used for the rest of Joe Brown Enterprises' operations, from 1967 until 1976.

Joe Brown Enterprises stopped releasing singles in 1976.
