To celebrate the arrival of 13 newly-digitised years of Rip It Up on @NLNZ's Papers Past stie, we asked Murray Cammick to write about all the Aotearoa NZ artist covers from 1986 to 1998. This is a great picture of Alannah Currie (The Thompson Twins). audioculture.co.nz/articles/…
Fantastic working with you @AudioCultureNZ. We wouldn't have been able to complete this without the support and drive of both Simon Grigg and Chris Bourke. Check it out paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/pe…
This is very exciting! The next 13 years of Rip It Up (1986 - 1998) are live now, and it's so great to be able to read them.
Thank you Charlotte McGillen and the
@NLNZ Papers Past team, who took such care with @ChrisbkBourke's treasured collection.
