Producer and Rhino Records Co-Founder Harold Bronson

Harold Bronson is as much of a rock 'n' roll music fan as he is a music industry trailblazer. As a UCLA college music journalist, Harold flew to London to meet and interview his idols, and later wrote the book, "My British Invasion- The Inside Story on the Yardbirds, the Dave Clark Five, Manfred Mann, Herman's Hermits, The Hollies, The Troggs, The Kinks, The Zombies, and More." Harold shares little known, behind the scenes stories about his encounters with these music legends when they were still in their prime. He explains why he thinks the The Kinks stopped touring and why members of the Ramones didn't speak to each other for years during their heyday. Harold co-founded Rhino Records with Richard Foos, which became the standard for novelty and reissue records and the first label to produce CD Box sets in America, beginning with Richie Valens. He signed The Knack and executive produced their 'Zoom' album. Rhino also produce several Firesign Theatre records. Harold grew up in Westchester, CA, (next to LAX airport) with some neighborhood kids who became the hit band, the Turtles. As film producer, Harold worked with Hunter Thompson to make "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", starring Johnny Depp. And he's got Hunter Thompson stories to prove it!
