[Am] Question!
Who exactly is Rhino?
Sure, we're your friends here on YouTube with more than 6
million subscribers, [D] thank you, and [A] a rather impressive collection of music videos from some
of the greatest recording artists of all time.
But did you know that the origins [D] of Rhino records
can be traced all [G] the way [Am] back to 1973 and a very cool indie record store in a little college town
in Southern [D] California?
[C] Have [G] we got a [A] story for you.
I'm Scott T.
Sterling and this is The Rhino
[E] Report.
[Em] [A] [G] We love a good origin story.
[Am] From Peter [Em] Parker being bitten by a radioactive spider [Ab] to
become [A] Spider-Man [D] to [G] the [C] intergalactic plot twist [Eb] that, [Em] spoiler alert, turned [A] Anakin Skywalker into
[G] Darth Vader, [A] a strong origin [G] story can go a [A] very [D] long [G] way.
Today [A] we're looking back at the [G] humble
[Am] beginnings and origin story of our very own Rhino Records.
Who are we and why are we here?
In [G] 1973,
[Am] Richard Fuse opened the Rhino Records store [G] in Westwood and hired Harold [C] Bronson to manage it.
[D] Later, they became [C] partners in [G] the [A] label.
The iconic store quickly became a legendary
music destination, famous for helping hone the American indie aesthetic.
In 1978, Rhino Records
[C] added a new [G] job title to [A] its resume as a record label and distributor.
The very first release on
the label was by an artist by the name of [D] Wildman [C] Fisher.
[G] The [A] song?
Go to Rhino Records.
Why not
an appropriately wild acapella recording urging music fans to, [D] what [C] else, [Am] go to Rhino Records
on [G] Westwood [A] Boulevard.
[C] The label's focus was on [A] fun and irreverent novelty records that were often
out of print [Ebm] and hard to [A] find.
Among them, releases from Richard Fryer, [D] Spike [A] Jonze,
and the Turtles.
Heading into the [D] [A] 1980s, Rhino's illustrated [G] [D] catalogs, [A] which looked in every way
like a [G] comic book, [D] [A] showcased the label's vast and growing roster of releases, [G] including records
[D] by The [A] Runaways, [Gm] Rodney Dangerfield, [A] [G] Frank Zappa, and of [Ab] course, [B] The [A] Monkees.
[G] Charging into the 1990s, Rhino had grown into a full-blown [A] entertainment [G] company,
moving into the world [D] of home video [Am] with VHS [A] [Db] and [Eb] eventually DVD [E] releases [Am] of The Monkees TV
Show.
Everybody loves The Monkees TV [D] Show.
[B] They had [Em] Curtis Mayfield [Eb] concerts [C] and [Ab] the [Am] legendary,
just can't [D] get enough, [Ab] New [Em] Wave hits [Am] of the [G] [Ab] 1980s [Am] video [D] compilations.
[E] The Rhino Records store in
[C] Westwood was still going strong at this time, which is [A] the 1990s, hosting live performances
[C] from [G] such musical luminaries [D] as [E] Wilco, [C] Sublime, [G] Weezer, [A] Soundgarden, and [C] even Nirvana.
[G] In [Am] 1992,
Rhino entered into a partnership [G] with the [A] legendary Atlantic Records, [D] releasing Otis
Redding [G] Records, [G] [D] Aretha Franklin, [A]
and John [G] Coltrane releases.
[Am] In [G] 1998, [A] Rhino teamed up with
Warner, giving the label the green light to handle [A] reissues from an incredible roster of [G] artists and
music, [C] [A] including Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones, The Doors, [Am] The Grateful Dead, [A]
The Cars,
and so [B] many [A] more.
Rhino has continued to grow [G] into the 2000s, including [D] bringing esteemed label
[A] Parlophone into the [G] fold in 2013.
We're [D] talking Blur, Daft Punk, people.
[G] Huge, huge records.
[D] [A] In celebration [C] of Rhino Records' [G] 45th [D] anniversary, we are proud to announce [E] Quadio.
[D] For more [A] about Quadio, we [Am] brought in the Quadfather himself, [A] Steve Woolard from Rhino A&R.
Take it away, Steve.
[G] Hey, everybody.
[Dm] Steve Woolard here from Rhino.
I want to [G] talk about
these new Quadio titles [A] coming out.
First off, we [Gm] got Black Sabbath Paranoid, the [D] 1970 album.
[A] These all sound phenomenal.
These are all, of course, [C] transferred from the original half-inch
[D] four-track [G] master, which probably [A] hasn't seen the light of day since [C] 1975.
[D] Next up, we got Alice
[E] Cooper, Billion Dollar Babies.
Big [A] 1973 album.
J.
Giles Band?
Sure.
Must have got lost.
I would say so.
And last but not least, of course, we have Jefferson Starship.
So there they are.
$24.98 a piece.
It's going to be a bundle price, too.
Quadio is simply Quadraphonic Audio, shortened.
It's four-channel audio that used to be available in the mid-70s.
[C] So if you have a surround system
at home, [D] because you've got a 5 [G].1 system, this will come out of four of [A] those five [C] speakers.
One in every corner.
[D] Available from rhino.com. [A] Available today.
All right, Scott, [C] take it away.
[D] Thanks, Steve.
That [G] was awesome [A] and informative.
What do you [C] want to hear on [D] Quadio?
