Also Received Rotorua Maori Choir Series 1, 2 and 3 Columbia 33-MS-6001, 33-MS-6003, 33-MS-6004 10in. 33 1/3 LP. As with the recording reviewed above, these are another famous first—the first full scale recording of a Maori choral group. They are a re-issue in LP form of items originally recorded on 78 r.p.m. shellac discs from copper masters taken in 1930 by the Columbia Gramophone Company at Rotorua. The choir has long since been disbanded but through these records it is still enjoying public recognition over a quarter of a century after its heyday. The reproduction is good and the various items are sung with care and precision. The full story of these records and their making is contained in my article in issue No. 36 of ‘Te Ao Hou’, entitled ‘Still Popular after Thirty Years’.
