Key

Key Records was an independent label owned by Eldred Stebbing. It was started after Stebbing wound down Zodiac Records in 1974. It released only New Zealand artists. 

Key: 1975 to 1977

From 1975 to 1977 Key Records were distributed by Pye records. I am unsure what sleeve Key Records were issued. It could be Pye company sleeve or more likely a plain white sleeve.

Key Centre Label 1975 to 1977

Key: 1977 to 1982

In 1977 Festival took over manufacturing and distributing of Key Records. Singles began being issued in the Festival company sleeve.
