Falco was an Austrian musician, born on 19 February 1957 in Vienna, Austria. He gained international fame with his hit single "Rock Me Amadeus" in the 1980s. Known for his unique blend of pop and rock music, Falco's energetic performances captivated audiences worldwide. Tragically, he passed away on 6 February 1998 near Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic due to a car accident. Despite his untimely death, Falco's legacy as a pioneering artist continues to inspire generations of musicians.

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

Wiener Blut was originally released in August 1988 - the album achieved chart success in German-speaking countries (Top 10 in Germany, #2 in Austria). The initial plan had been to record the songs on the new album with a new production team and with a new musical direction (more melodic and commercial). But in the end only four songs were ultimately used from these sessions. Returning to his former setup with the Bolland brothers, Falco then produced another six tracks – and in addition to the Bolland recordings a cover version of the Steely Dan hit “Do It Again”. Deluxe double CD version with extra versions, mixes and edits of several album tracks.
