COMMENTS
New Zealand Parlophone (stereo press) was issuing albums on a light blue label with an old style "Parlophone" at the top, similar to the black-and-gold label from U.K.
Outer rim text starts with "His Masters Voice (N.Z.) Ltd."

Some blue label issues can be found with "STEREO" above the word "Parlophone," while Sgt. Pepper has it below. Reportedly, some later copies of other LP's may be found with "STEREO" below the word "Parlophone."

His Master's Voice was a subsidiary of EMI Music and was set up in the 1930s under the HMV name in New Zealand. It was, until the 1970s, the biggest manufacturer and distributor of records in New Zealand. In addition to its own labels, HMV, Parlophone, Regal Zonophone, Capitol, and Columbia, it manufactured many others including Decca, Warner Brothers and, at times, Atlantic. In 1973 the HMV label was rebranded worldwide as EMI.

New Zealand Parlophone did not issue Beatles LP's in stereo until early 1964. The existence of the first two LP's in stereo on this label is disputed.
