WILL N.Z. FOLLOW AUSTRALIAN LEAD IN BANNING RECORDS?
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, July 21. “The New Zealand Musicians’ Union has worked in very closely with the Australian Musicians’ Union on the guestion of records and transcriptions generally,” said Mr. T. E. Skinner, M.P., today, commenting on last night’s cable Erom Sydney concerning the likelihood of imported records by Sinatra, Crosby and other popular entertainers being banned in Australia.
Mr. Skinner, who is president of the union, said that if the banning of imported records in Australia led to flooding of the New Zealand market and interfered with the livelihood of local musicians the New Zealand Union would have to consider taking similar action. Australian transcriptions were not used in New Zealand unless an agreement had been reached between Jh-a unions.
