Rhino’s “Start Your Ear Off Right” campaign is back for 2018, and this year’s crop of titles is a happily eclectic one ranging from classic R&B to rock, metal, hip-hop, and beyond. These limited edition vinyl reissues will be released every Tuesday beginning tomorrow, January 9, and continuing through the 23rd. We can’t think of a better way to start our year off right than visiting a local record store, and Rhino agrees – so all of these titles will be exclusively available at brick-and-mortar outlets including independent retailers and Barnes and Noble locations. (You’ll find the full list of participating stores here!)
In addition, Rhino will also offer the label’s yearly calendar, a music industry-only perk, to anyone who purchases one of the “Start Your Ear Off Right” vinyl titles at participating indie retailers (while supplies last). Barnes & Noble shoppers will receive a limited edition vinyl slipmat with any purchase of one of these releases.
Here’s the full list for the 2018 “Start Your Ear Off Right” series, with the date of release and additional information! Look for these vinyl classics beginning tomorrow, January 9!

Hello, do you ship vinyl to Europe? If so, what are the shipping costs to Belgium, and how can I order, please?
Best regards,
Micheline
These are vinyl releases from Rhino Records; they are only available in selected stores. (See the list of participating stores at the link in the article.)
These are also up for preorder on most of the major online retailers. I know these are only supposed to be available at B&M stores, but I seem to recall the releases being up for order last year. Wasn’t the Monkees cardboard records set part of SYEOR last year. It’s available online. I got my order for Alice Cooper in at Amazon. If I don’t get it, so be it. My nearest record store is over 2 hours away.
Last year’s calendar was awesome. I hope I can score one this year.
What bullshit. …not a single sellingpoint in Europe…except UK.
I got Badfinger’s “Wish You Were Here” on green vinyl at a Barnes and Noble. Rhino doesn’t list it as part of the promotion, but it was on the shelf, it had the sticker on it, and I got the slipmat.
Great album. Great band. They both deserved better.
