Being located in Australia means it is only a hop, skip and a jump from our close neighbor, New Zealand. And that means the occasional and interesting New Zealand Beatle items turn up here from time-to-time.
I recently scored a nice copy of the New Zealand Mystery Tour LP, which came out in Australia and NZ on the World Record Club label. In both countries this release was unique to the rest of the world, but the New Zealand version has a number of differences again to the Australian. Here's the front cover:
The picture is very similar to the Australian edition, but there is a large World Record Club/EMI logo over the white piano. And the rear is different too. The Australian cover is printed in colour, while the New Zealand is black and white:
The most startling difference is the label - this is my one:
In New Zealand there are two variations of this label. Here's the second:
I'm told there is an even more unusual New Zealand Apple label version that comes in a very similar cover to the one above.
To more closely compare the two click here to see pictures of the Australian MMTrelease.
