Holiday Records
Music is better on vinyl. Life is better on Holiday.
Basically, the foundation of our business. We love music, not just the literal sound of music but everything it stands for. We believe vinyl records epitomise everything there is to love about music. The history, the physical nature, the warmth a spinning record brings to a room, the artwork and of course – the sound. In today’s digital world, we’re missing out on a lot of that.
Holiday Records has brought vinyl record pressing back to New Zealand in 2018 for the first time since the 1980’s. We are proud to have brought a brand new, modern pressing plant to Auckland, New Zealand to service NZ and the world. An opportunity for artists at home and abroad to press their records in our corner of the globe and be a part of the whole process with us.
