Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the September 2004 Issue of Stereophile!
The crunching, smack-in-your-face power chords driving hard rock's thundering heart can be traced directly back to Link Wray. His pulverizing sound forged a new path for rock OEn¹ roll guitar, and he was never more lethal than during his 1963-1967 tenure at Philadelphia-based Swan Records. Link unleashed some of the nastiest licks of his phenomenal recording career on the mighty Swan seven-inchers, all of which are corralled on this Sundazed double 180gm gatefold edition, in crunchily accurate sound courtesy of the original mono master tapes!
