The Sound is a British post-punk band formed in South London in 1979. Led by singer and songwriter Adrian Borland, the band released several critically acclaimed albums throughout the 1980s. Known for their intense and atmospheric sound, The Sound blended elements of punk, new wave, and alternative rock to create a unique musical style. Their lyrics often explored themes of isolation, despair, and social commentary. Despite achieving limited commercial success during their active years, The Sound's influence on later generations of musicians cannot be overstated.

With their distinctive guitar-driven sound and Borland's emotive vocals, The Sound created music that resonated with listeners who were drawn to its raw energy and introspective lyrics. Songs like "Sense of Purpose" and "Winning" showcased the band's ability to craft powerful melodies while addressing universal themes of hope and longing.

Tragically, The Sound disbanded in 1988 after struggling with personal issues within the group. However, their legacy lives on through their dedicated fanbase and the continued admiration from fellow musicians. Today, The Sound remains an influential force in the post-punk genre, leaving behind a body of work that continues to inspire new generations of artists.

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
