Rhino ‘Start Your Ear Off Right’ Vinyl Campaign Returns

Share This:

Rhino launched a “Start Your Ear Off Right” campaign in 2016, with titles from some of their most revered artists as a special post-holiday campaign. Its success from fans and record stores has led Rhino to reprise the program in 2017 with a new set of releases. Beginning on Tuesday, January 10, and continuing each Tuesday through the rest of the month, Rhino will release new vinyl titles including such classic rock stars as Cheap Trick, Foreigner, Madonna, The Cars, The Replacements, The Stooges and Yes, many of them limited editions.

The albums will be available only at participating brick and mortar retail outlets. For a full list of titles and a record store locator, visit here.

Rhino has also brought back it’s highly sought-after wall calendar, which was previously a music industry-only perk for record label employees, radio DJs, journalists, record store owners, and so on. For a limited time, anyone who purchases one of the “Start Your Ear Off Right” releases at participating music retailers will receive a free copy of the Rhino calendar, while supplies last.

Cheap Trick – Woke Up With a Monster – vinyl debut, limited to 3500 copies
