Air New Zealand's Jet Set

Photobucket
Thats what it says about "The Mauriora Maori's" . This must be a joke or something. One side of the lp is live & in the Maori language , the other side has titles like "What do the flowers think ?" & "Spirit Everliving "
David Sinclair produced the lp just in case anybody cares. Backing band is "The Transeuphonic Onions" . There's more info in Rocktober magazine about this.

Couple of 45's from New Syndrome Records out of Vancouver. Anvil Chorus was made up of former members of Jason Hoover & The Epics & Ken Wain from The Painted Ship.
