Rhino

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

Stiff Little Fingers is a Northern Irish punk band formed in 1977. The original members were Jake Burns, Ali McMordie, Henry Cluney, and Brian Faloon. They gained recognition for their debut LP "Inflammable Material" which featured iconic songs like "Alternative Ulster", "Suspect Device", and "Wasted Life". The band moved to London in 1979 and released the LP "Nobody's Heroes" with Chrysalis Records. Despite lineup changes, they continued exploring similar themes through their music. In 1983, the band disbanded but reformed in 1987 with Burns, McMordie, Cluney, and new drummer Dolphin Taylor. They still tour today.

In 1990, Bruce Foxton of The Jam joined as bassist after McMordie temporarily left the band. However, McMordie returned in 2006. The current lineup includes Burns on vocals/guitar, McMordie on bass guitar, Ian McCallum on guitar, and Steve Grantley on drums.

In addition to Stiff Little Fingers' ongoing success, two former members (Cluney and Reilly) formed a new band called [a5142163] in 2015 along with two other musicians. Although Reilly has since left due to health reasons, the band continues to be active.

Our curated collection of essential albums on vinyl, CD, and tape at Rough Trade.

Rough Trade Essential

The first, best and only Stiff Little Fingers album that you need. Released originally in 1979 as the first album ever on Rough Trade, it is harsh, brutal, primitive punk rock with sadly still relevant lyrics about the troubles in Northern Ireland. This stands head and shoulders above all other albums of the time. Their punk rock aesthetic is authentic, with raw lyricism and harsh instrumentation. Containing the anthemic track Alternative Ulster, Stiff Little Fingers promote the ‘grab it and change it’ narrative.
