Description

Before punk, before garage rock, before heavy guitar music as we know it, there was Link Wray.

Best known for earth-shaking instrumental classics and some of the most influential guitar tones ever recorded, Sings And Plays Guitar reveals another side of the legend. Originally released in an extremely limited run in 1964, this long-overlooked gem trades the dark instrumental menace for raw, dancefloor-ready rock & roll packed with swagger, heart, and Link’s unmistakable energy.

These tracks were built for sweaty teen dance halls and late-night jukebox sessions, blending rockabilly, early rock, twist-era grooves, and Link’s unmistakable guitar attack into something loose, fun, and completely authentic. Songs like “Run Boy Run,” “Mashed Potato Party,” and “Remember The Twist” feel alive in that way only early rock & roll records truly can.

Even on the softer cuts, Link’s personality cuts through loud and clear. The vocals are charmingly unpolished, the guitars still dangerous, and the whole record captures that transitional moment where rock & roll was mutating into something wilder.

Pressed on limited clear vinyl with only 500 copies made, this is an essential pickup for Link Wray fans, garage rock collectors, and anyone chasing the roots of loud guitar music.

Why We Carry It

Because Link Wray is foundational. Everybody from garage punks to surf bands to hard rock guitarists owes something to him, and records like this show just how deep his catalog really goes. Hidden gems like this are exactly why crate digging stays exciting.
