Link Wray & His Ray Men / RUMBLE / 1958 Cadence Vinyl 45 / NM-

Songs: RUMBLE & The Swag

Original 1958 Cadence pressing of "RUMBLE" by Link Wray and His Ray Men

Vinyl record is in NM- condition. great sound, no skips and very glossy. Clean matching Cadence Co. Sleeve included (see photos).

About "RUMBLE": Link Wray came up with this when he was asked to play a stroll at one of his shows. The song was radically different from other popular instrumentals, as it introduced gritty guitar distortion and power chords to the world of rock.

Wray was with Archie Bleyer's Cadence label and he wanted to record this as a single. Bleyer was ready to pass on it until his step daughter said she liked it and that it reminded her of the rumble scenes in West Side Story. Bleyer named the song "Rumble" and decided to release it. The title made the song somewhat controversial because it implied gang violence - some radio stations refused to play it. It might be the only instrumental song ever banned on the radio.
