THE RHINO RECORDS STORY: REVENGE OF THE MUSIC NERDS BY HAROLD BRONSON
In the 1970s, in the back room of a Los Angeles record store, Harold Bronson and Richard Foos were making history - and Rhino Records was born. Starting as an expression of their shared passion for rock music, absurdity, and an anti-establishment sensibility, Rhino soon outgrew its beginnings as a reissue label, taking on new artists and new mediums.
In a mix of hard work, passion for music, and a flair for the unconventional, the story of Rhino Records takes shape. This behind-the-scenes look at a company considered by many to be the industry’s best, reveals its history, along with the secrets to their success. Written from the perspective of co-founder Harold Bronson, The Rhino Records Story: Revenge of the Music Nerds tells the tale of how a little record shop ultimately became a socially conscious, multimillion-dollar corporation whose accomplishments grew to encompass several gold records, Label of the Year Award, the revival of the careers of many deserving musicians, and the creation of a company to produce feature films.
