Out of circulation since 1976, the recordings of the Los Angeles rock band Mogan David and His Winos will finally be available again on March 6. The group's lineup featured a "who's who" of heavyweights in the American music industry, including Harold Bronson and Richard Foos (co-founders of Rhino Records), Paul Rappaport (Columbia Records), and Mark Leviton (Rhino/Warner Music Group). Additionally, the band included Jonathan Kellerman, a New York Times bestselling author known for his series of novels starring the fictional child psychologist Alex Delaware. Started in high school by Bronson, a music-obsessed Los Angeles native, the Winos' band name was derived from the Mogen David Wine Company, inspired by those crazy band names from the psychedelic era, such as Jefferson Airplane and Strawberry Alarm Clock. The Savage Young Winos LP received some national attention, with Creem Magazine's Lester Bangs writing, "Side one's at least as listenable as Roxy Music... Hooracha and more power to 'em." By 1974, Bronson was working as store manager at the new Rhino Records retail store on Westwood Boulevard. In collaboration with the store's owner, Richard Foos, Bronson's Kosher Records evolved into a new independent label, also named Rhino Records. For most of their first decade, the Rhino label was very much a D.I.Y. affair, with Foos and Bronson licensing recordings from other more-established companies for re-release. By 1984, Rhino was proving itself a major player in the reissue market, re-releasing dozens of oldies collections. The 2026 release of Savage Young Winos follows its predecessor by an amazing 53-year gap. Bronson, who also serves as producer for the project, decided to leave off four songs from the earlier release that he felt hadn't stood the test of time. They have been replaced with a pair of demo tracks, additional live recordings from the period, and two tracks from a Winos' reunion session in 1993. CD and download include a 24-page booklet with extensive liner notes and rare photos. LP includes the same notes and photos in a 4-page insert.
