Free Music Notes for Definitive CollectionFree Music Review: FYI About RHINO Records Reissues
I'm posting this particular note because I've noticed for quite sometime - years - that folks complain [and accuse RHINO of ripping them off] about why RHINO RECORDS will reissue another compilation on an artist they previously reissued and downsize the track listing featured on subsequent compilation reissue. That is definitely NOT the case! RHINO Records goes to extremes to offer the FINEST QUALITY recordings in their 'reissue' programs to music fans/customers, from "remastering" to complete artwork of original albums, plus additional artist recording history/information where posssible. I'm a "Collector" of Vintage Lps/45's/Cds and have been collecting music since I was in my teens, a few decades ago. I have amassed quite a sizable collection of both Vintage Vinyl & Compact discs, numbering between 10,000 to 20,000 discs. One thing I do know, is the difference between record company labels and reissue labels, and what lies within their processing of product - believe me, I learned the hard way early on through trial and error. Before Cds came along, in the early 80's when the record 'reissue' age was beginning to really go full speed ahead, as they say, I had bought several 'reissued' of basically "out-of-print-unavailable" artist compilations on various domestic & import 'fly-by-night' reissue labels and the sound was horrific! [I felt betrayed and cheated of my hard earned $$$ and music is my ultimate love, so I've spent quite a bank's vault on it during my lifetime.] I also bought many RHINO reissues on vinyl, and was quite pleased beyond description, as I noticed the sound was perfectly well above average, even during the final years of the age of vinyl records! Little did I know then about RHINO's reissue process, but, I saw them featured a couple times on TV news magazine styled shows and did some research on Rhino Records myself. In RHINO's case, they are the ULTIMATE BEST, THE FINEST record company in the recording arts business who commit themselves to preserving mainstream and rare recordings from all genres of music for reissue when the artists' original record company no longer offers past catalogue editions or keeps them "in print" for public consumption. Too often RHINO preserves recordings better than the artists' mother label themselves! RHINO takes the ultimate PRIDE in presenting one of their reissues to the public. RHINO goes the utmost quest to locate the original master tape recordings from record company vaults & completely REMASTER them with the latest 'state of the art' technology at the time of the reissue. RHINO never uses "2nd, 3rd, 4th or umpteenth generation" tapes/metal disc 'matsers' to cut an all new reissue of a recording. It costs RHINO a good deal of money to REMASTER recordings, but, they go beyond limits to offer you the BEST, always. When you purchase a RHINO REISSUE - you are purchasing the ULTIMATE BEST in preserved SOUND! Also, once RHINO releases said product, they are only licensed by the artists' mother company to offer an initial LIMITED run of the reissue. This means, that once it's on the market, quantities are limited due to contractual licensing specifications. Now, in the case of this particular "Foreigner Definitive Collection" reissue - this is an all new edition which may appear to be downsized from RHINO's previous Foreigner reissue "JUKEBOX HEROES". Truthfully, "JUKEBOX HEROES" is "Out-of-Print" from the Rhino catalogue, and due to it's astounding sales success, RHINO obviously had to offer an all new compilation, due to demand. This also means acquiring an all new licensing rights contract from ATLANTIC RECORDS for a subsequent reissue edition - Foreigner's mother label. Keep in mind - most importantly - that RHINO is for the most part, a REISSUE company.[Yes, they also have a small stable/roster of choice artists who issue all new recordings on their private label.] They are NOT, in most cases the original record company label that the artists were signed to whom they are presenting a remastered compilation/reissued back catalogue albums, box sets, etc. RHINO leases the rights/license from the major record companies of the artists. Rhino didn't intentionally screw consumers of the extra nine tracks omitted here from "JUKEBOX HEROES", as that compilation is OUT OF PRINT...GONE FOREVER...if you can purchase a copy at some internet store, PLEASE get them while they are still out there. Once they are cut from the RHINO catalogue, they become highly collectable. Many out-of-print RHINO 2-cd set compilations are now selling for up to $100.00 if you can find them. A good case in point, for example, is the Johnny Rivers Rhino reissue from the 1990's. When it comes to "reissue/remastered" albums, I always seek out a possible RHINO RECORDS edition, because I KNOW I'm purchasing the recording in it's finest preserved state-of-the-art form, plus, I know as my ears hear, that for my money - down to the last penny, I'm acquiring the BEST available. RHINO RECORDS IS MY PREFERRED REISSUE Record company - RHINO IS THE ULTIMATE BEST! Make them yours, too!
