50th anniversary reissue of the Flamin’ Groovies seminal album Shake Some Action. Taking notes from the British Invasion and inspiration under the San Francisco sun, the Flamin’ Groovies became synonymous with the stylish, raunchy rock of the early-1960s, with Shake Some Action remaining their undisputed classic. Earning a perfect 5-star review from AllMusic and an 8.5/10 from Pitchfork, Shake Some Action is upheld for its ability to sound moody, wild, and unabashedly “’60s”. Includes the album remastered from the original analog tape as well as a bonus disc including previously unreleased alternate mixes/versions from the original recording sessions as well as the surviving reels of the band performing live at The Roxy in Hollywood in 1976. Includes the classic title track, “You Tore Me Down”, "I'll Cry Alone", “I Can’t Hide” and more.

Fifty years ago, as the nation marked its Bicentennial, a legendary soundtrack was hitting turntables across the country. Now, as America prepares to celebrate its Semiquincentennial, Rhino announces its Spirit of ’76 summer vinyl reissue campaign.

Launching July 17, the campaign will roll out in weekly waves available exclusively at Rhino and through select independent retailers. The 23-album lineup spans the 1976 musical landscape, bringing together everything from Bootsy Collins and Black Sabbath to ZZ Top and Linda Ronstadt.

The campaign touches on studio albums like Bad Company’s Run with the Pack and Chicago’s X, alongside essential hits collections from Jethro Tull and the Monkees. The list also highlights multiple concert recordings, including the Grateful Dead’s Steal Your Face (50th Anniversary Edition), the double albums Live at the Roxy, 1976 by the Ramones and Blow Your Face Out by The J. Geils Band, as well as Yes’s 3LP Live at Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ (6/17/76).

The Spirit of ’76 also features releases from the Rhino Reserve premium vinyl series, including Todd Rundgren’s Faithful, Gordon Lightfoot’s Summertime Dream, and Faces’ Snakes and Ladders / The Best of Faces. These versions are cut from the original analog masters by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing in Oxnard, California.
