Description
Link Wray, Yesterday-Today, on Record Factory 1929. Record looks VG+ on one side, similar but with two long fingernail scuffs on the other side. Plays great, with the occasional click that is probably from the pressing more than the condition--this is a private-press disk, and so little money was put into the cover, the label, and the vinyl, that it's hard to believe it's by a rock and roll legend AFTER he had already made a name for himself. Phenomenal stuff here--if you've never heard "Climbing a High Wall"--the one track with vocals--go directly to youtube and give it a listen, because it's mind-bendingly great--a crazed freak-out of a guitar rocker, incredible stuff. Some of the tracks are rougher, tougher, cooler reworkings of legendary things he'd cut earlier--the version of Run Chicken Run is fast and furious, even better than the terrific original. The cover has general aging, spotting, and light wear, chipping along the spine, wear but no splits on the bottom seam, fully intact with no writing, holes, cuts, etc. How this guy doesn't have a wider audience I have no idea, but this is as raw and real as it gets, from the man who inspired an entire generation of guitar players and sent rock and roll in a whole new direction.
Grading
MINT- Perfect or virtually perfect.
VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record
VG Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise
VG- Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay
G Rough record
