Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars None of his biggest hits.......2005-12-08

Mostly second tier stuff and unreleased takes, this is a disappointing compilation. Rumble? Nope. Ace of Spades? Not here. Jack the Ripper? Forget it. Don't buy this unless you already have his greatest hits and just want some back up.

5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2003-02-25

Its hard to believe that Duane Eddy and Booker T.& The MG's are the only instrumentalists represented in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Epic Sessions 1958-1961 ~ Link Wray & The Wraymen, with over 110 min. of music will convince you this CD really is SLINKY!
