Stunn

Independent NZ label created in 1980. Stunn was owned by NZ music businessman and producer Terry Condon and managed initially by Marianne Allen and then by Trevor Reekie. Condon was a former employee of PolyGram Records Limited and acquired the NZ and Australian rights to the Fiction Records label owned by fellow New Zealander and manager of The Cure, Chris Parry. Releases were issued in New Zealand via CBS Records New Zealand Limited and then EMI (NZ) Ltd. These were generally pressed at EMI's Lower Hutt factory or PolyGram's PRS Ltd., Miramar/Wellington (the CBS releases]. For the Australian market, releases were pressed and released via 7 Records Pty Limited. The label collapsed at the end of 1982 when Condon's other music businesses also went under.
