Rhino

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

The Stranglers are an English rock band formed in Guildford, Surrey, UK in 1974. Originally consisting of Hugh Cornwell (vocals, guitar), Jean-Jacques Burnel (bass, vocals), Brian Duffy aka Jet Black (drums) and Hans Wärmling (keys). Over the years, the band underwent several lineup changes and experimented with different musical styles including New Wave, Punk, and Rock.

Known for their melodic basslines by Burnel and Greenfield's keyboards, The Stranglers gained recognition for their growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics. In 1977, they briefly performed as "the Mutations" before returning to their original name. Throughout their career, they faced challenges such as Hugh's arrest on drug charges in 1980 which led to guest performers joining the band for scheduled gigs.

In 1990, Cornwell left to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Paul Roberts on vocals and John Ellis on guitar. During live performances at that time, Roberts took over tracks traditionally sung by Burnel. The band experienced further lineup changes with Ellis leaving in 2000 and being replaced by Baz Warne on guitar. Roberts also departed in 2006 due to disagreements during recording sessions.

Back In Stock

The Stranglers formed in early 1974 and emerged via the punk rock scene building a fan base and reputation for their aggressive and uncompromising style, but the band’s sound developed throughout their career never being pigeonholed to a genre. As a result, their body of work (they continue to record to this day) is varied and hugely celebrated.

To date, the band have scored 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums. The Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving and most renown bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Peaches is a collection of their most famous celebrated songs for the first two decades of their illustrious career including iconic tracks such as Peaches, Golden Brown, No More Heroes and Hanging Around.
