Description
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. The 2CD set comes with four different coloured Dick Frizzell postcards to send to friends.

"Sweet as kiwiana"
I'm now a Kiwi living over in Australia and I bought it in NZ before I left for Australia. The compilation is awesome with 42 of the greatest kiwi songs past and present to be on this cd set.
This cd compilation is a must for all Kiwis to own whether you live in NZ or a kiwi living overseas to remind you of the good times in NZ. Choice Sony Music NZ

"Well packaged and promptly delivered"
Expected a bit of a problem for a late Xmas delivery but not so. Well within their time frame.
"Excellent - exactly what I needed"
As a Kiwi living in Australia with an American wife - I was in dire need of some Kiwi classics.
This CD is an excellent introduction to the wonderful world of Kiwi music.
