Album Notes
MR. GUITAR offers an in-depth sampling of Link Wray's vintage '50s and '60s work and comes with a free Link Wray guitar pick.Includes liner notes by Billy Miller.Personnel: Link Wray (guitar).Liner Note Author: Billy Miller.One of the definitive Link Wray anthologies, and certainly the best one that focuses on his classic 1962-'66 tenure at Philadelphia's Swan Records, the two-disc set MR. GUITAR is an out and out monster. Lovingly compiled from the original master tapes and containing no overlap with Norton's other Link Wray reissues, the four-volume MISSING LINKS set, MR. GUITAR features 63 classic instrumentals, 26 of which have never before been released in the US. Among the rarities are B-sides, alternate takes, unissued tracks and the entirety of the previously vinyl-only SWAN DEMOS album released by the UK Hangman imprint. As fascinating as those are, the meat of this package is the classic single sides like "Jack the Ripper," "Run Chicken Run," "Ace of Spades," and of course "Rumble" (note: this is not the original 1958 hit, but an excellent re-recording from 1964). The set also includes an excellent and informative 28-page booklet.
