 The WRC operated in New Zealand between 1960 and the mid 1970s and provided a valuable service to music lovers in provincial towns, which lacked the record shops and selections available to collectors in the main centres.The Club took full-page advertisements in the "New Zealand Listener" magazine offering a choice of any three LPs for ten shillings to new members.Members received a magazine listing the upcoming monthly releases for that year, which had to be ordered in advance.
