"As we were completing the track listing for 'The Great New Zealand Songbook Volume 2', it occurred to us that either album could have been called Volume 1 or Volume 2, such was the depth and richness of material we had to draw on. The 68 artists that perform the 80 songs that feature on both volumes represent the past, present and future of New Zealand music -- what treasure they have given us. With this release we now complete 'The Great New Zealand Songbook' and I really want to say a big thank you to all the incredibly talented New Zealand artists, managers, record companies and music publishers who all participated with such goodwill and enthusiasm." - Murray Thom
