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

Television is an influential American rock band formed in New York City in 1973. Led by guitarist and vocalist Tom Verlaine, the band quickly gained recognition for their unique blend of punk, art rock, and avant-garde influences. With their debut album "Marquee Moon" released in 1977, Television solidified their place as one of the pioneers of the post-punk movement. Known for their intricate guitar interplay and poetic lyrics, Television continues to captivate audiences with their timeless sound.

Throughout their career, Television has remained true to their artistic vision, refusing to conform to mainstream trends. Their music explores themes of urban life, introspection, and existentialism. With critically acclaimed albums like "Adventure" and "Television", the band has left a lasting impact on alternative rock and indie music.

Today, Television's influence can be heard in countless bands across various genres. Their legacy as innovators continues to inspire new generations of musicians who appreciate their raw energy and uncompromising creativity. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, exploring Television's discography is a journey into the heart of underground rock at its finest.

Television were part of the late-'70s punk nucleus that put New York's CBGB club on the map. Driven by Tom Verlaine's raw-nerve songwriting and both his and Richard Lloyd's guitar playing - dual strands of slashing hooks and cathartic riffs - their music is spare yet structurally complex, artistic yet unpretentious. Among rock's true innovators, Television put a new face on punk and influenced everything from New Wave to jam-rock. Adventure is the band's second album and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, Marquee Moon. Four of the songs, Foxhole, Ain't That Nothing, Careful and The Dream's Dream were older compositions from the band's live set.
