Out Now: Pet Shop Boys, YES / ELYSIUM – FURTHER LISTENING Expanded Editions (Article)
Friday, October 20, 2017
Back in July, we here at Rhino proudly announced that we were going to be making Pet Shop Boys fans very happy by resuming a past tradition with the duo’s back catalog: delivering expanded editions of their albums with a disc of Further Listening material, including B-sides, demos, and remixes. At that time, we trotted out new multi-disc versions of NIGHTLIFE (1999), RELEASE (2002), and FUNDAMENTAL (2006), and today brings two more entries in the reissue campaign, which you can read about below. YES (2009): With guest appearances by Johnny Marr and Phil Oakey, this album not only earned the

Out Today: The Smiths, THE QUEEN IS DEAD Expanded Edition (Article)
Friday, October 20, 2017
“You cannot continue to record and simply hope that your audience will approve, or that average critics will approve, or that radio will approve. You progress only when you wonder if an abnormally scientific genius would approve – and this is the leap The Smiths took with The Queen Is Dead.” – Morrissey “The Queen Is Dead was epic to make and epic to live.” – Johnny Marr We’ve been teasing it for weeks now, offering up a track here and a track there in order to get you excited about it, but now it’s finally here: the expanded edition of arguably the greatest album ever made by The Smiths, THE

In Stores Now: Donald Fagen, CHEAP XMAS (Article)
Monday, October 23, 2017
As a member of Steely Dan, it was always evident that Donald Fagen was a very clever and amusing gentleman, but he deserves a bit of extra credit for coming up with the title of the box set that spans his entire solo career: CHEAP XMAS. It’s a fair cop, though: if you know someone who’s a Fagen fanboy but hasn’t gotten around to picking up all of his solo albums, then this is a perfect bit of one-stop shopping. And even if you’re a fan who does have those four albums – which are, for the record, THE NIGHTFLY, KAMAKIRIAD, MORPH THE CAT, and SUNKEN CONDOS – there’s still something here to help

Happy Anniversary: Linkin Park, HYBRID THEORY (Article)
Tuesday, October 24, 2017
17 years ago today, Linkin Park released their debut album, the success of which kicked off their career in decidedly spectacular fashion. Before we talk about the album, let’s talk about the origins of the band. Most of the members of Linkin Park came courtesy of Xero, a rap-rock band fronted by Mark Wakefield and featuring guitarist Brad Delson, vocalist / rhythm guitarist Mike Shinoda, drummer Rob Bourdon, turntablist Joe Hahn, and bassist Dave Farrell. With no record deal on the horizon, Wakefield bailed on the band and went looking for another gig, as did Farrell. Enter Chester Bennington

In Stores Now: Ronnie Montrose Featuring Ricky Phillips and Eric Singer, 10X10 (Article)
Friday, September 29, 2017
If you grew up listening to FM radio in the ‘70s, then you know just how big a deal the late Ronnie Montrose was. Indeed, the man was nothing short of a guitar god, and many an axe man worshiped at his altar. When Montrose died in 2012, he’d been in the midst of putting together a new album with bassist Ricky Phillips and drummer Eric Singer, one on which he planned to feature 10 songs with 10 different singers, calling it 10X10, and although he died before bringing the project to completion, Phillips took it upon himself to finish what Montrose had started. If the preceding paragraph seemed

Out Now: Stone Temple Pilots, CORE 25th Anniversary Edition (Article)
Friday, September 29, 2017
Here’s a factoid that’ll rock you to your core: it’s been 25 years since Stone Temple Pilots released their debut album. Arriving in the midst of the grunge movement, the hard rock sounds of STP were exactly what listeners were looking for at the time, resulting in songs like “Plush,” “Sex Type Thing,” and “Wicked Garden” entering regular radio rotation and staying there for… Well, actually, all three of those songs are still in regular radio rotation, if that gives you any idea of just how long-term the band’s success has proven to be. In celebration of this significant anniversary, Rhino has

Single Stories: Rod Stewart, “Maggie May” / “Reason to Believe” (Article)
Monday, October 2, 2017
46 years ago this month, Rod Stewart began a five-week reign atop the Billboard Hot 100…and a week later he kicked off a five-week reign atop the UK Singles chart with the same song. Aye, it was a pretty good few weeks for “Maggie May,” and it wasn’t half bad for Rod Stewart, either! Written by Stewart, the song was – per a 2007 interview with its composer in Q Magazine –“more or less a true story about the first woman I had sex with, at the 1961 Beaulieu Jazz Festival.” No, he clarified, her name was not Maggie May: he admitted to swiping that name / title from an old Liverpudlian song about

Happy Birthday: Richard Hell (Article)
Monday, October 2, 2017
He was born on this date in 1949 as Richard Lester Meyers, but you probably know him better by his stage name, so today we celebrate the birthday of – drum roll, please – Richard Hell. Hell first found his way to (cult) fame as a member of the seminal ‘70s New York punk band Television, but prior to that he’d been a member of the Neon Boys, subsequently he was a member of the Heartbreakers – that’s the Johnny Thunders / Jerry Nolan band, of course, as opposed to Tom Petty’s band – and he later became known for fronting his own band, The Voidoids. Somewhere in the midst of all of this music

Rocktober Titles: Week One (Article)
Tuesday, October 3, 2017
ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?! Of course you are. It is Rocktober, after all. If you’re not ready to rock, then you might as well go back to bed, pull the covers over your head, and stay there ‘til November. Of course, you probably shouldn’t plan on getting much sleep while you’re there, because all of that rockin’ is gonna get pretty loud… But enough about the name, let’s get to the meaning of Rocktober: last year we introduced a new month to the Rhino calendar, switching out October and putting it its place Rocktober, thereby providing us with an opportunity to deliver a number of new vinyl

Rhino Factoids: Gary Cherone Becomes Van Halen’s Third Lead Singer (Article)
Wednesday, October 4, 2017
21 years ago today, Van Halen formally announced that they’d selected someone to replace Sammy Hagar as the band’s lead singer: Gary Cherone, formerly the frontman for Extreme. Tensions had been running high for awhile between Hagar and the Van Halen brothers – Eddie and Alex, of course – but while the band was in the midst of laying down some tunes for the soundtrack of the Bill Paxton / Helen Hunt hurricane-chasing action blockbuster Twister, things blew up and Hagar left the studio. With the relationship between the two factions of the Van Halen camp tenuous at best, things only got worse
