The Great New Zealand Songbook Collectors Edition

This is the last copy we have of this collectors Item deluxe set of 'The Great NZ Songbook' includes a 100-page journal of handwritten lyrics, photos and memorabilia, contributed by the artists themselves -- the coolest Kiwi music coffee table book ever, and the music that goes with it!  Perfect gift for the lover of iconic NZ music - here in NZ or send to your loved one overseas - a perfect gift!



After attending the Split Enz Vector Arena concert in March 2008, Murray Thom (the creator behind this unique project), turned to his son and said that they had just heard the "The Great New Zealand Songbook". That was the birth of a project, which from the outset, encapsulated more than just the music.

The final result is this two CD set, featuring 42 of New Zealand's favourite recording artists -- including Split Enz, Dave Dobbyn, Neil Finn, Supergroove, Bic Runga, Shihad, Dragon, Opshop, Evermore, Brooke Fraser, The Chills, Ladyhawke and many more, performing a selection of the best New Zealand music from the 'Last Century' and 'This Century'.

The iconic front cover art of Charlie 'The Four Square Man' holding a guitar is an original work by acclaimed New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell and was commissioned specifically for this release.

As this makes an ideal gift to send overseas we have included delivery options.
