Link Wray 'The Swan Demo's '64' (1989)
An LP featuring early unissued material by Link Wray is essential listening for any keen student of the electric guitar, why even Pete Townsend cites Link as the reason he took up the dreaded six string. Well I suppose we'll just have to wince and forgive Link for that. No, don't let's get morbid, play this record and have some fun! - William Loveday W.O.A.H (from the liner notes)

Link Wray 'Jack The Ripper' (1963, 1990)
Billy Childish's Hangman re-released this classic album with a couple bonus cuts... If you're not hip to Link's jive you are sorely missing out! As the LA Reader put it so eloquently, "If you're looking for background music for fightin', fuckin' or carryin' on, start here."
