John Coltrane’s Olé Coltrane and Miles Davis’ Tutu Joining The Limited Edition Reissue Series in April

LOS ANGELES – Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) introduces its two latest additions to the acclaimed series of limited-edition, high-end vinyl reissues today with the release of The Cars’ Candy-O and the Grateful Dead’s American Beauty.

Both albums are available exclusively at Rhino.com and internationally at select WMG stores. Each release is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and priced at $39.98. To ensure an unrivaled listening experience, all album lacquers are AAA cut directly from the original stereo master tapes by Kevin Gray, while Optimal handles the 180-gram vinyl pressing. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the aesthetic experience, with glossy covers and gatefold “tip-on” jackets reminiscent of vinyl’s golden age. Each Rhino High Fidelity release also comes with exclusive content about the album, such as photos and behind-the-scenes stories.

The Cars’ second album, Candy-O, helped create the new wave sound in 1979 with its polished pop hooks, catchy melodies, and the sleek production of Roy Thomas Baker, who also produced the group’s eponymous debut. Instantly recognizable by its iconic Alberto Vargas cover, the album introduced smash hits like “Let’s Go” and “It’s All I Can Do,” propelling the album to #3 on the Billboard 200.

Considered a highwater mark in the Grateful Dead’s studio album catalog, 1970’s American Beauty offers an innovative blend of folk, country, and rock, and features some of the band’s best-loved songs, including “Ripple,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Box Of Rain.” The album was produced by The Grateful Dead and recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco.

Next up, Rhino Hi-Fi will celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month too with the release of John Coltrane’s Olé Coltrane and Miles Davis’ Tutu on April 5. These releases follow Rhino Hi-Fi’s January titles - Ornette Coleman’s Change of the Century and Television’s Marquee Moon- - extending an extraordinary streak with more exciting titles to be announced in 2024 .

Rhino is also introducing a small line of High Fidelity merch including a dad hat, hoodie, t-shirt, and slipmat, available to purchase today.
