Kiwi music idols donate chart-topping singles to ruby anniversary vinyl

11 September 2015 - 0 Comments

A limited edition 7” pressed on ruby red vinyl has been released in celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Charts.

The double A-side features record-setting singles by two of New Zealand’s iconic artists, Tiki Taane and Scribe.

Tiki Taane’s Always On My Mind spent the most weeks in the Singles Chart by a NZ artist (55). Scribe’s Stand Up * was the Kiwi single that spent the most weeks at #1 (12).

Both artists donated their tracks for the project with all proceeds going to the New Zealand Music Foundation (http://www.nzmusicfoundation.org.nz/).

The Foundation develops and supports projects across New Zealand that use music in healthcare, education, rehabilitation, volunteering and all areas of society to positively influence  the lives of those in need. It also provides caring, confidential and practical assistance in times of illness and hardship to members of the New Zealand music community.

Recorded Music NZ CEO Damian Vaughan is pleased that music fans can celebrate the Charts’ ruby anniversary year with the limited edition commemorative single.

“These songs are a key part of our music history and I’m thrilled that vinyl collectors and fans of Kiwi music can finally add these two iconic singles to their collections. Of course, it’s also fantastic to have two Kiwi music greats donating their chart topping singles to help others through music,” Vaughan says.

The commemorative ruby records feature two collectable covers and are available now from the following stores and online:

Amplifier

JB Hi-Fi

Marbecks

Mighty Ape

The Warehouse 

Southbound (Auckland) 

Vinyl Countdown (New Plymouth) 

Rough Peel (Wellington) 

Slowboat (Wellington) 

Relics (Dunedin)
