Rockin' the Suburbs

1362: What Was First: Rhino Records


Listen Later

An email from beautiful Cornucopia, Wisconsin leads us to investigate the first release on Rhino Records. 

The story will take us back to Westwood, California and touch on buying records at flea markets, Hassle the Salesman Day and even include a number one single. 

But the tale begins with a Los Angeles outsider/street musician named Lawrence Wayne "Wild Man" Fischer. 

Hit play and take your mind back to L.A.
