Reissues

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

Van Morrison, born on August 31, 1945 in Belfast, is a Grammy Award-winning Northern Irish singer, songwriter, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist. He has been a professional musician since the late 1950s and is known for his skills on various instruments including guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums and saxophone.

Starting his career as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, Morrison gained fame with their hit song "Gloria" in 1964. Later on, he embarked on a successful solo career which earned him numerous accolades.

Morrison's contributions to music have been recognized by institutions such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has also been ranked among the greatest artists of all time by VH1 and Rolling Stone Magazine. His talent as a songwriter was acknowledged by Paste Magazine while Q Magazine praised his singing abilities.

Deluxe Edition of Van Morrison’s multi-platinum selling 1970 release Moondance with the original LP remixed by Steven Wilson.

Van Morrison went a long way towards defining his wild Irish heart with his first two classic albums: the brooding, introspective&nbsp;Astral Weeks&nbsp;(1968), and the expansive, swinging&nbsp;Moondance. If the first was the work of a poet, its sequel was the statement of a musician and bandleader.&nbsp;Moondance&nbsp;is that rare rock album where the band has buffed the arrangements to perfection, and where the sax solos instead of the guitar. The band puts out a jazzy shuffle on&nbsp;Moondance&nbsp;and plays it soulful on&nbsp;These Dreams of You. The album includes both Morrison's most romantic ballad (Crazy Love) and his most haunting (Into the Mystic).&nbsp;And it Stoned Me&nbsp;rolled off Morrison's tongue like a favourite fable, while&nbsp;Caravan&nbsp;told a tale full of emotional intrigue.&nbsp;Moondance&nbsp;stood out in the rock world of 1970 like a grown up in a kiddie matinee.
