Whoops!! I think you meant to type "Universal", Bruce!

And actually, you're kinda wrong about Hip-O Select
being the same sort of label that Rhino is for WEA (actually,
WEA is the distribution name for Warner Music Group).
Rhino is WMG's reissue division (the label and logo still
survive), but inside WMG and in the "industry," Rhino is now
known as Warner Strategic Marketing because the one-
time indie label was merged with Warner Special Products,
and a few other Warner divisions. Anyway, Hip-O Select
is more like Rhino Handmade, which was an "Internet-only"
label when I worked for them; now that they're selling CDs
via a special deal with Collector's Choice, I guess you can't
say that anymore. But, Hip-O Select do put out limited
edition CDs that are available via the online website...So,
Hip-O Select and Rhino Handmade are "similar," and
Rhino and Hippo are "similar."
