RHINO
RECORDS

Independent Reggae label: Rhino Records was owned by EMI and supplied with material through a production deal by Bruce White's and Tony Cousins's 'Creole Music' publishing company. Rhino boasted several major artists, including Desmond Dekker and Dave Barker, but it only managed to get one single into the Charts during the two years of its existence (1972-74). That hit was Bruce Ruffin's 'Mad About You' (RNO-101) - which Ruffin reportedly disliked because of its silly vocal effects. A lot of the other singles appear to have had a similar commercial / Pop Reggae slant. Numbering was in an RNO-100 series. The label design remained unchanged throughout, apart from a tweak in the perimieter text: in October 1973 the reference to 'The Gramophone Co.' at 10 o'clock was altered to refer to 'EMI Records'. A similar change took place on most of the other labels in the EMI group at or around that time. Manufacture and distribution were of course by EMI. The label was revived briefly by Creole in 1987.
