Stateside

Stateside: 1962 to 1964

His Master's Voice (NZ) Ltd had the licenses to release a range of smaller American labels in New Zealand. These included Laurie, Swan and the early Motown Records. In 1962 it started marketed these releases on one label, Stateside. Originally singles were issued in then H.M.V. company sleeve.

Stateside: 1962 to 1972

In 1964 an unique Stateside sleeve was introduced. I am unsure if this sleeve was used up until 1975. I have seen a version with 'Distributed by EMI (NZ) Ltd' printed on it. Which must have been printed after 1972. Unfortunately I don't have a copy. If you can help out please email or leave a comment.

In 1972 H.M.V. rebranded as EMI. Singles not released in the unique sleeve would have been issued in the EMI company sleeve.
