La Gloria Records was an independent New Zealand label owned by Harry Miller. As well as releasing records on its own label it also had the licenses to several overseas labels, most notably Reprise Records and Roulette Records. The La Gloria label released mainly New Zealand artist.

La Gloria: 1963 to 1967
In 1963 the label was sold to Viking Records but was run as an independent company. The above unique sleeve was still used for a while. After 1963, the 'wallpaper' sleeve (or later a plain white sleeve) was used more and more. I am unsure the exact date the La Gloria sleeve was fully retired. If you can shed some light on this please leave a comment or email us.
