Rhino Records, the classic arm of Warner Brothers Music have plans to release a small flurry of new vinyl LPs for some old classics. This is targeted for the collector who wants to replace originals as well as the younger, newer collector who wants playlist hits of the bands offered.

On May 31, vinyl fans can grab vinyl LP copies of classic B-52s albums, The B-52s (1979), and Wild Planet (1980); and the pre-platinum gems from ZZ Top with Tejas (1976), and El Loco (1981). In addition, Rhino will reissue classic ‘best of’ vinyl editions of Aretha Franklin hits with Aretha’s Gold (1969), Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits (1974), The Monkees’ Greatest Hits ( 1976), and So Far, the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young collection from 1974.

This is a nice collection of classic albums finding their way back to newer vinyl offerings for the collector.
