Rhino Records started as a record store in 1973 in Westwood California, U.S.A., founded by Richard 


Foos. The first recording was released in 1975, "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer which was a small success. In 1985 the label made a distribution deal with Capitol Records, which lasted until 1992.  . . . . . . . . and the rest is
