Kiwi Talk Disc

A companion to the Kiwi Hit Disc, the Kiwi Talk Disc was a tool designed for radio programmers.  It contains introductions and comments by the artists, usually about the referenced song but often on music or life in general; radio programmers were encouraged to be creative with the contents.

The first produced disc appears to be KTD10, with the Talk Disc number matching the companion Kiwi Hit Disc volume number.  No earlier reference exists in either the National Library collection or Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision archives.  Talk Discs also accompanied every CD in Kiwi Gold Disc box sets I & II.

Following the last separate release, KTD21, Talk Disc-esque tracks were included for New Zealand Music Week, (later New Zealand Music Month) on KHD25, KHD47, KHD59 and KHD65.  One can only imagine the logistics of coordinating artists for interview recording, tight timeframes for disc production and release along with the corresponding Kiwi Hit Disc eventually leading to the demise of the Talk Disc concept.
