Flying Nun Records unleashed an extraordinary wave of New Zealand music on listeners from the time it was founded in 1981 by Roger Shepherd.
The Clean, The Verlaines, the Headless Chickens, Look Blue Go Purple, The Jean-Paul Sartre Experience and many, many more.
Canadian music fanatic, record collector, editor and publisher Matthew Goody has just released a book on Flying Nun - it's a labor of love - a comprehensive discography including the bands and the songs from 1981 to 1988.
Matt's in New Zealand to launch the book - published by Auckland University Press.
