• This quintessential collector’s edition contains Wray’s magnificent debut album, ‘Link Wray & The Wraymen’ (1960) - plus 16 bonus tracks consisting of alternate takes, demos and hard to find sides from his early and best years on the Epic and Cadence labels.

• Born in Dunn, North Carolina, in 1929, Link Wray was perhaps the first important instrumental rock musician to feature the power chord prominently - a style that became the staple of modern rock guitarists. His impact has been felt in almost every genre of rock & pop music ever since.

• His instrumental rock gem, “Rumble”, crackles with manic energy - and his sound and style stood at the intersection of rock & roll, the rise of the guitar instrumental, the cult of the juvenile delinquent, and the roots of modern rock.

• Total Time: 72:34 mins. - 28 tracks - also includes: 16-page booklet, rare photos, vintage visual memorabilia & detailed liner notes.

• “Link Wray is the King; if it hadn't been for ‘Rumble’, I would have never picked up a guitar.” - Pete Townsend.
