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

Twisted Sister is a US-American heavy metal band from Long Island, New York. Formed in 1972 by guitarist Jay Jay French, the band's songs were written by Dee Snider starting in 1976. Twisted Sister went through several lineup changes before gaining popularity with their third album, "Stay Hungry", which sold over two million copies and remains their biggest success. After disbanding in 1987, the members pursued various projects but eventually reunited for occasional tours. Tragically, former drummer Richard Teeter passed away in 2012 and drummer A.J. Pero died of a heart attack in 2015.

The band's music evolved from glam rock to a heavier sound that set them apart from other glam metal bands of the time. Known for their grotesque image and energetic live performances, Twisted Sister gained international fame with hits like "I Am (I'm Me)" and "We're Not Gonna Take It". Despite facing setbacks such as lineup changes and label issues, they continued to make music and released a successful Christmas album titled "A Twisted Christmas" in 2006.

Although no longer actively recording new material, Twisted Sister still occasionally performs together on small tours around the world. Their enduring legacy as one of heavy metal's iconic bands continues to inspire fans today.
