Rhino's Spirit of '76

Summer Vinyl Reissues Celebrating The 50th Anniversaries Of Classic Albums From America’s Bicentennial! Available Exclusively At Indie Retailers

Fifty years ago, as the nation marked its Bicentennial, a legendary soundtrack was hitting turntables across the country. Now, as America prepares to celebrate its Semi-quincentennial, Rhino announces its Spirit of ’76 summer vinyl reissue campaign.

The 23-album lineup spans the 1976 musical landscape, bringing together everything from Bootsy Collins and Black Sabbath to ZZ Top and Linda Ronstadt.

The Spirit of ’76 also features releases from the Rhino Reserve premium vinyl series, including Todd Rundgren’s Faithful, Gordon Lightfoot’s Summertime Dream, and Faces’ Snakes and Ladders / The Best of Faces. These versions are cut from the original analog masters by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing in Oxnard, California.
