About this electronic
JB HI-FI EXCLUSIVE PALE BLUE DOUBLE VINYL! Seventy-seven years after it was first recorded, Pixie Williams’ timeless voice returns to vinyl. Blue Smoke — written by Ruru Karaitiana on his way to war, recorded in Wellington on 3 October 1948, and released 26 June 1949 — was New Zealand’s first locally written, recorded, and commercially released pop song. It went on to sell 50,000 copies, topping the charts for six weeks, making Pixie Williams a household name overnight - arguably New Zealand's fi rst pop star. Blue Smoke marked the birth of our recording industry. This landmark reissue brings that history back to life with a unique double LP: ● Side A/B – For the Record: The Pixie Williams Collection – remastered originals, painstakingly restored from fragile 78rpm discs. ● Side C/D – The New Blue – contemporary reinterpretations of Williams’ songs by leading Aotearoa artists, bridging generations and reimagining her legacy. Features: ● Premium gatefold sleeve ● Exclusive foreword by Nick Bollinger (award-winning writer and critic) ● Liner notes by Chris Bourke (music historian and author of Blue Smoke ) This release continues the work of Blue Smoke Records, founded by Pixie’s daughter Amelia Costello, to preserve her music and the story of Aotearoa’s recording pioneers. As Pixie once said: “When you have music in your heart, it stays with you. Music will always live on.” Own a piece of Aotearoa’s musical history – Blue Smoke returns on vinyl for the first time since 1949.
