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

Stiff Little Fingers is a Northern Irish punk band formed in 1977. The original members were Jake Burns, Ali McMordie, Henry Cluney, and Brian Faloon. They gained recognition for their debut LP "Inflammable Material" which featured iconic songs like "Alternative Ulster", "Suspect Device", and "Wasted Life". The band moved to London in 1979 and released the LP "Nobody's Heroes" with Chrysalis Records. Despite lineup changes, they continued exploring similar themes through their music. In 1983, the band disbanded but reformed in 1987 with Burns, McMordie, Cluney, and new drummer Dolphin Taylor. They still tour today.

In 1990, Bruce Foxton of The Jam joined as bassist after McMordie temporarily left the band. However, McMordie returned in 2006. The current lineup includes Burns on vocals/guitar, McMordie on bass guitar, Ian McCallum on guitar, and Steve Grantley on drums.

In addition to Stiff Little Fingers' ongoing success, two former members (Cluney and Reilly) formed a new band called [a5142163] in 2015 along with two other musicians. Although Reilly has since left due to health reasons, the band continues to be active.

Stiff Little Fingers BBC Live In Concert features two high energy performances from these very influential Northern Irish punk rockers, recorded for the BBC. Fronted by singer and guitarist Jake Burns, the first LP of this 2LP set kicks off with "Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae" from their Go For It album, recorded at London’s Paris Theatre in 1981, a venue used for many classic BBC In Concerts. The second LP features an equally raucous show captured at Norwich’s University of East Anglia in the UK in front of a highly appreciative crowd. Recorded a year after the Paris Theatre show, the 1982 set starts with "Tin Soldiers" and ends with "Gotta Getaway.
