Rhino Records is set to start a special vinyl series titled Sounds of the Summer. It will run every Friday in July 2024. The series is set to include a varied choice of both expected and unexpected titles, including the likes of Crosby, Stills and Nash, Genesis, The Grateful Dead, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, The Doobie Brothers, Jimmy Cliff, Rod Stewart, Yes, War, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Little Feat, and Chicago.
Also being introduced as part of this campaign is the Now Playing series, a newly compiled set of Best Of collections from such Warner catalog acts as Sonny & Cher, George Benson, Al Stewart, Van Morrison, Todd Rundgren’s Utopia and Hall & Oates. There’s also a Various Artists compilation called Summer Sounds.
With the exception of Jimmy Cliff (on transparent red vinyl) and Joni Mitchell (on clear vinyl), the rest of these 24 releases have been pressed on 140-gram Sea Blue vinyl (save for Warren Zevon at 180-gram double wax), and will be available exclusively at physical record shops while supplies last.
You can check the Rhino store for official releases, here.
