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 Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early-1970s. Along with *The Rolling Stones*, they are one of the few British pop groups of the early 1960s that have never officially broken up and that continue to record and perform.
Most of *The Hollies* band members are from throughout East Lancashire. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. In recognition of their contribution to music, *The Hollies* were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
If you enjoy music by artists such as *Herman's Hermits*, *Manfred Mann*, or *The Dave Clark Five*, then you will likely appreciate the sound and style of *The Hollies*. With a rich history spanning several decades, this iconic group continues to captivate audiences with their timeless melodies and harmonious performances.

As the beat boom evolved into psychedelia and hard rock, The Hollies fell behind. Their most talented songwriter, Graham Nash, had emigrated to unimaginable fortune with Crosby, Stills and Nash, and the remaining Hollies, clinging to newly discredited philosophies of formal, concise pop music, were stuffed. They have, consequently, never been afforded the respect they deserve - for a couple of years they were, creatively and commercially, giving The Beatles a run for their money. As consistent a singles group as ever there was, they rattled off a huge list of hits, most of which still sound thunderously alive, driven by those trademark four-part harmonies, precise, inventive and staggeringly powerful. Lined up in a row here, those hits show the true worth of a band who were, for a brief but happily prolific period, up there with the greats.
