Ride is an English rock band that was formed in Oxford in 1988. Known for their unique wall of sound, the band created a mesmerizing blend of massive distortion and direct melodies. Their music, often described as shoegazing due to the bandmembers' focus on their pedals while performing, drew inspiration from influential bands like My Bloody Valentine. However, Ride stood out with their exceptional songcraft and dynamic approach. Initially hailed as the last great hope of British rock, they quickly rose to fame but eventually faded from the spotlight.

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

Box Sets

The Original Album Series by Ride is a collection of five albums released by the British rock band. This compilation, released by Rhino, includes their first five studio albums: "Nowhere" (1990), "Going Blank Again" (1992), "Carnival of Light" (1994), "Tarantula" (1996), and "Weather Diaries" (2017).

Ride emerged in the late 1980s as part of the shoegaze movement, known for their dreamy and ethereal soundscapes. Their debut album, "Nowhere," is considered a classic of the genre and features tracks like "Vapour Trail" and "Polar Bear." The band's second album, "Going Blank Again," continued to refine their sound with songs like "Leave Them All Behind" and "Twisterella."

"Carnival of Light," their third album, showcased a more experimental side to Ride's music with psychedelic influences and longer instrumental passages. Tracks like "Birdman" and "How Does It Feel to Feel?" highlight this shift in their sound. The fourth album, "Tarantula," marked a departure from their shoegaze roots towards a more alternative rock sound.

After disbanding in 1996, Ride reunited in 2014 and released their fifth studio album, "Weather Diaries," in 2017. This album sees the band returning to their shoegaze roots while incorporating elements of modern indie rock. Standout tracks include the singles "Charm Assault" and "All I Want."

The Original Album Series provides fans with an opportunity to own all five of Ride's studio albums in one convenient collection. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the band's music, this compilation offers a comprehensive overview of Ride's discography and showcases their evolution as a band over the years.
