E.M.I. Manufacturing Ltd.

Manufacturing subsidiary company of His Master's Voice (NZ) Limited, affiliated with the pressing plant in Wellington. (A.k.a Electric & Musical Industries Manufacturing (N.Z.) Limited) Please do not confuse with later NZ company EMI Manufacturing Ltd. Succeded by EMI (Manufacturing) NZ Ltd. in 1973. Can often be identified on NZ releases by a dot (full stop) between the alpha and numerical parts of the cat# on the label and etched runouts without the dot. Third party pressings (not HMV) will sometimes have the standard HMV copyright block on the back sleeve. Most Viking releases in the 1960s were pressed here.
