I've been a Rhino supporter since the 80's. I think the first Rhino releases I ever bought were one of The Doctor Demento albums ( greatest novelty album of all time- the 80's) and a Runnaways picture disc. I wish I had the picture disc still. There was once a Rhino Records shop in Riverside CA. Which I went to frequently, but eventually, it turned into Mad Platter.

RHINO RULES,Thank for your information about how Rhino records was formed and founded.again,Thanks Stott and Steve.

[@remyroland2424]

Rhino is a little beast of a label with incredibly huge catalog and huge selling artists. They hold more value than Interscope, Republic, Def Jam and RCA.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

At the time, I'm sure they didn't believe they would get that far.

[@remyroland2424]

@@ChristopherSobieniak Rhino had The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Biggie Smalls, Metallica, The Doors and they are huge sellers. They're easily among the greatest record labels of all time.

Rhino 90s music vinyl

[@whatevahz531]

I received both my High Fidelity albums with shipping damage to the jackets and have also now received my Quadio Blu-ray bundle with damages on all my discs/cases. Wat's up Rhino - is it too much to ask to please take my money but then maybe just send me new/minty items?

[@bennyteen8792]

Very nice details about the origin, i love it!

[@Bellagio551]

Comes to mind is the Quad recording album by Ten Years After called "Space in Time"

[@philipciulla1417]

Nilsson Schmilsson and Pussycats please!

[@roystonmason9125]

[@adrianbradley8513]

But how did they end up with the name RHINO?

[@Planterbannter]

I only know rhino for distributing 1980s my little pony

[@The_Mantis]

ah

[@WaydeChristie]

How can a company started in 1973 have the worst customer service I've ever experienced? My limited edition Cars album arrived warped and unplayable and I've heard nothing from Rhino support for 3 weeks. Since then the album has sold out, so sucks to be me I guess? Get your s#*t together Rhino.
