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 ‘n’ roll guitar, and he was never more lethal than during his 1963-1967 tenure at the 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 180-gram gatefold edition, nailed in dead-accurate sound, courtesy of the original mono master tapes.
