Reprise: 1961 to 1966
In 1961 La Gloria Records obtained the rights to distribute American label Reprise records in New Zealand. Singles were issued in a unique company sleeve. Strangely, the Reprise company sleeve of this time had no branding to indicate it as a New Zealand sleeve; this can only be identified by how the sleeve has been printed.

After 1964 Reprise singles were issued in the 'Wallpaper' sleeve.
