Out Now: COMPLETE AND UNBELIEVABLE: THE OTIS REDDING DICTIONARY OF SOUL (50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION) (Article)
Friday, October 7, 2016
October 15 will mark the 50th anniversary of the release of one of the greatest R&B albums to be released during the course of the 1960s, and if you ask a music critic, it probably won’t take much prodding to get them to declare it one of the greatest R&B albums of all time. COMPLETE AND UNBELIEVABLE... THE OTIS REDDING DICTIONARY OF SOUL was the last solo studio album released by Otis Redding during his lifetime, but what a way to go out: noted rock journalist Jon Landau has described it as “the finest record ever to come out of Memphis and certainly the best example of modern soul ever

Celebrate Cassette Store Day with the Ramones (Article)
Friday, October 7, 2016
If you visit Rhino.com on even a semi-regular basis, then you almost certainly already know about Record Store Day, but are you familiar with Cassette Store Day? Yes, it’s really a thing. In fact, it’s tomorrow, and to show our support for the event, we’re offering up a limited-edition release for the festivities: a new cassette release of the Ramones’ self-titled album. After all, it’s the 40th anniversary of the album, so we felt like it was the least we could do. Why the nostalgia for cassettes? Hey, why not? The younger you are, the less likely you are to remember this, but once upon a

Happy 30th: a-ha, SCOUNDREL DAYS (Article)
Thursday, October 6, 2016
30 years ago today, a-ha released their sophomore album, but if you’ve spent the last three decades seeing it as a slump, then you clearly haven’t checked out how SCOUNDREL DAYS did around the world. Co-produced by Alan Tarney and a-ha members Pal Waaktaar and Magne Furuholmen, SCOUNDREL DAYS was always destined to be heavily scrutinized by the music press, given the tremendous success of a-ha’s debut album, HUNTING HIGH AND LOW. Perhaps predictably, the album went to the top of the charts in the band’s native Norway, but its success was in no way limited to the Land of the Midnight Sun: it

Happy Anniversary: Mott the Hoople, Mad Shadows (Article)
Thursday, September 29, 2016
46 years ago this month, Mott the Hoople released their sophomore full-length effort, but its title reportedly wasn’t the one they’d originally planned to give it. We’ll get to that in a moment, though. First, let’s talk a bit about the album itself. Recorded at London’s Olympic Studios, MAD SHADOWS featured seven original tracks, five written by Ian Hunter and the rest composed by Mick Ralphs, and it wasn’t what you’d call a big commercial breakthrough album for the band. Granted, it did chart slightly higher in the UK than its predecessor, but unlike their debut, it failed to chart

Now Available: David Bowie, Who Can I Be Now? [1974-1976] (Article)
Friday, September 23, 2016
Two days from now, we’ll be celebrating the one-year anniversary of when we released the David Bowie box set FIVE YEARS 1969-1973, which – as its title suggests – includes the material that Bowie released during the five-year period from 1969 to 1973. Since we all know that he didn’t just up and retire at the end of ’73, it was only a matter of time before we released a follow-up to this set, and as of today, that time has finally come. Regrettably, the new set is not called FIVE MORE YEARS, first and foremost because it only covers three years, but don’t get cocky: it’s not called THREE YEARS

Doing a 180: The Hollies, Evolution / Butterfly (Article)
Thursday, September 22, 2016
Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. This is the latest to get that treatment. You're welcome. EVOLUTION:The Hollies built their career by delivering some of the catchiest singles of the mid-1960s, but as the decade progressed, the band evolved, and the end result of this evolution was that The Hollies began to phase out the use of songs written by folks outside the band and stick to material composed by members of the band. As a result, by the time they released FOR CERTAIN BECAUSE… in December 1966, every song on the album fit that

Thursday, September 22, 2016
First we brought you the deluxe reissue of RUMOURS. Then we brought you the deluxe edition of TUSK. If we didn’t follow up that up with a deluxe reissue of MIRAGE, then we knew we were going the victims of a serious beat-down.

This Day in 1972: Alice Cooper Proves A Little Too Shocking for a Few ABC Affiliates (Article)
Wednesday, September 21, 2016
44 years ago today, Alice Cooper performed four songs on the premiere episode of the ABC series In Concert, an appearance which directly resulted in the series’ subsequent episodes being sent to local network affiliates in advance of their airdates for managerial approval. Yeah, Alice kind of freaked out some of the folks in Cincinnati. It seemed like it was going to be a relatively even-keeled affair when In Concert premiered, with a set list featuring performances by Cooper, Bo Diddley, Curtis Mayfield, and Seals and Croft, but pity those other three acts, because it was Cooper who was given

Now Available: Led Zeppelin, BBC SESSIONS (Article)
Friday, September 16, 2016
A long time ago – we’re talking way back in the 1990s – Led Zeppelin released BBC SESSIONS, a two-disc set feature live recordings from the band’s appearances on BBC radio between 1969 and 1971. It was, as you might recall, very well received by fans and critics alike, earning rave reviews and racking up double-platinum sales figures. But here’s the thing: if you picked up a copy back then or, indeed, at any point since then, we’ve got some news for you: you can now unofficially refer to it as THE ALMOST-COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS. Why, you ask? We were just about to get to that. Rhino is proud to

This Day in 1966: The Monkees TV (Article)
Monday, September 12, 2016
50 years ago today, a TV series about four guys who lived together, played in a band, and got the funniest looks from everyone they meet made its debut on NBC. Yes, that’s right: it was The Monkees. And if you thought it was anything else, then you’ve come to the wrong record label’s website. Competing against Gilligan’s Island on CBS and The Iron Horse, an ABC western which starred Dale Robertson as a gambler who becomes a railroad baron, The Monkees aired at 7:30 on Monday nights, just before I Dream of Jeannie. In its first episode, entitled “Royal Flush,” the boys rescued Princess Bettina
