Collection 255-M

Harold Bronson Sound Recording Collection

Harold Bronson, co-founder of Rhino Records, worked as a writer for the UCLA Daily Bruin and went on to write for Rolling Stone, The Los Angeles Times, L.A. Free Press, and Rock Magazine. He played music at UCLA with Mark Leviton, (and subsequent noted author) Jon Kellerman in the retro-punk band, Mogan David and His Winos.

Joining Richard Foos at the Rhino Records store, he started the Rhino Records label in the store’s back room in 1978. The label began with novelty records, eventually branching out into archival reissues and definitive anthologies and various-artists series. Foos and Bronson established Rhino Home Video in 1985 specializing in oddball cult films and classic TV programs, and Kid Rhino in 1991.

Rhino became a part of the Warner Music Group in 1998.
