Start Your Ear Off Right 2018

In January 2016, Rhino kicked off a new campaign called Start Your Ear Off Right, hoping that we could help music fans get through those long winter nights in the early months of the year by providing them with some new vinyl reissues. 

We had no idea just how successful it would turn out to be, but suffice it to say that it spawned a sequel in 2017, and now here we are in 2018, back once more to…START YOUR EAR OFF RIGHT!

Each Tuesday in January, we’ll be releasing a handful of new titles, all of which you can see below, but keep in mind that if you pick up any of these titles – all of which are limited edition releases – at a participating brick-and-mortar retail outlet, you’ll also get a copy of Rhino’s 2018 calendar…while supplies last, of course. Similarly, if you pick up a title at a Barnes & Noble, you’ll get a unique, limited-edition vinyl slipmat.

Check out the titles, check off which titles you want, and when the time goes, run don’t walk to your friendly neighborhood musical retailer to pick ‘em up!
