Stone Temple Pilots is an alternative rock band that was formed in 1986 in San Diego, California. Originally known as "Mighty Joe Young," they later changed their name to Stone Temple Pilots, inspired by the STP Oil logo. With their unique sound and powerful lyrics, Stone Temple Pilots have become one of the most influential bands in the alternative rock genre.
Since their formation, Stone Temple Pilots have released several critically acclaimed albums and achieved commercial success with hits like "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," and "Vasoline." Their music combines elements of grunge, hard rock, and psychedelic rock, creating a distinctive sound that sets them apart from other bands.
With their energetic live performances and charismatic frontman Scott Weiland (1967-2015), Stone Temple Pilots have captivated audiences around the world. Despite facing challenges throughout their career, including lineup changes and personal struggles, the band has remained resilient and continues to create music that resonates with fans old and new.

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
