I would like to thank Dave Britain, Janet Holmes, Dani Schreier, and Allan Bell for advice and discussions relating to these books. None of them, however, are responsible for the opinions expressed here. I also thank Rachel Lord from Radio New Zealand Sound Archives for her help in clarifying availability of the recordings.
