One of the smallest Kiwi record labels in the early 1960s must have been UNIVERSAL. The company's first release featured two instrumentals by Ashburton group Peter Collins and his Deaconaires who recorded their original compositions Diamond Lil // Fire Devil for release as Universal S500 in 1960. The group also provided backing for country singer Garner Wayne's disc debut I Love The Land // The Blue Velvet Band on Universal S502 in 1960 - the disc was later released on Viking VS100 in 1962. In November 1961 Peter Collins and his Deaconaires released Shortnin' Bread // Tamiami with Auckland Drummer Bob Milsom and pianist Adrienne Vincent featuring at that stage. Viking VS64 seems to mark the end of the group's recording career, and they split up in 1963. These notes (enhanced) are largely by John Boyd, written for Cees Klop's Collector Records compilation ’EARLY ROCK & ROLL FROM NEW ZEALAND’ Volumes 13/14 on CDCL 7759 A/B |
