Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy: Rhino Kicks Off 2020 With Start Your Ear Off Right Campaign

As has become an annual tradition, Rhino has kicked off the new year with another exciting slate of Start Your Ear Off Right releases.  The first few titles have already hit shelves, and more are on the way over the course of the month.

Punk, new wave, counterculture rock, singer-songwriter classics, and sleek ’80s pop hits…it’s all part of this year’s campaign.  Each week, a batch of these limited edition color vinyl pressings will be released to brick and mortar shops and a select few larger retailers.  A press release notes that FYE will be providing the much-sought-after 2020 Rhino Calendar with SYEOR purchases, available while supplies last.
