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

MC5 (Motor City Five) was a U.S. garage rock / heavy psychedelic / proto punk rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1964. After relocating to Ann Arbor, Michigan and gaining attention for their performance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, they were signed by Elektra Records. Despite their overtly political and anti-establishment stance, which limited their mainstream appeal outside of the American Rust Belt, MC5 released two albums with Atlantic Records before disbanding.

The MC5 (Motor City Five) emerged from Lincoln Park, Michigan in 1964 as a prominent U.S. garage rock / heavy psychedelic / proto punk rock band. In 1968, they moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan where they caught the attention of Elektra Records after an impressive performance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. However, due to their politically charged and anti-establishment approach, their popularity remained largely confined to the American Rust Belt region.

Despite facing challenges with widespread acceptance beyond their core fanbase, MC5 signed with Atlantic Records after being dropped by Elektra Records in 1969. They went on to release two more albums before ultimately disbanding.

Kick Out The Jams still sounds astonishingly powerful after almost 30 years. Recorded live at Detroit's Grande Ballroom in 1968, this relentless, aggressive set offers the frenzy of politicized garage punks blasting through giant stacks: a blitzkrieg of hard rock ignited from the dueling guitars of Wayne Kramer and Fred Sonic Smith and of the throttled vocals of Rob Tyner. the Stooges with barricade-busting ideals, the five turned the Motor City into a mecca of sonic excess and shattered the dazed dreams of hippie America. From the pounding of the title track to the eight-and-a half-minute weirdout of Sun Ra's Starship, Kick Out The Jams will rip your head to shreds.
