Link Wray Self-Titled S/T Sealed Mint in "Juke Box Mama Gold" Colored Vinyl LP, Limited Edition of 400. Future Days Recordings, US, 2017, FDR 633, Remastered.
This one's not to be missed. Genuinely one of my favorite roots rock albums ever, it was re-released on a limited run in 2017, and I'm parting with one of my duplicates. Just an excellent album by one of the most influential guitarists of all time, housed in a really neat, die-cut gatefold sleeve, this is one of only 400 copies of this special "Juke Box Mama Gold Wax" colored vinyl edition.
This copy is sealed, mint, and was even housed in a protective plastic outer sleeve since the day it arrived.
Album Info: Recorded in a makeshift chicken shack in rural Maryland, Link Wray's 1971 solo album is a compelling and forward-looking piece of honest, handmade Americana. Foregoing his trademark instrumentals, Wray gives us his raw voice, full of spit & vinegar, as he blends elements of country, rock'n'roll, roots, folk & gospel marked with fuzzy guitar and booming percussion. Link Wray proved to be the only album that the guitarist issued in his own name to hit the American charts during his 50-year recording career. Remastered & housed in a special die-cut sleeve. First official vinyl reissue.
Review: "In 1971, Link Wray reinvented himself and made one of the greatest roots rock albums ever, full of fuzz blasts, gnarled folk, and backwoods gospel. Rock’n’roll doesn’t get leaner or more primal." - Pitchfork, 9.1 out of 10
