An oldie but a goodie - rare record find
April 20, 2019
Â
You know it's a slow news day in our beautiful nation when I make the front page of one of our biggest online newspapers www.stuff.co.nz. A few weeks back I was privileged to have an extremely rare record donated to the museum.Â

Â
My now good friend Dr Ron Newtown from Oamaru in the South Island found this 1955 record which was pressed in New Zealand. The record has a collection of artists including Elvis, released before The King was well known. The album, E-Z Country Programming No. 2 is extremely rare and would be hard to put a price to it.
Â
Ron found this gem in a second hand store and was expecting to have to send it overseas to ensure it got the TLC it deserved. Thankfully Ron's online searching lead him my way and a new home for this rare find.
