Wow, this was a nice to hear on a Monday night. Maybe because seeing Link Wray and 1975 on the same page doesn't usually indicate a five minute and hairy live version of "Jack the Ripper" (originally released in 1962). This later version shreds in the way classic Wray does. You know what I'm talking about. The hills are alive with the sound of menace. Technique takes a backseat to the feel, and the feel here is a guy who knows his menace.
Here's just a couple highlights here to the LP that's posted in its entirety at Xtrmntr. The rest of the LP is good, but it's not the loud Link that we all know and love. But you ought to visit the post. It's an awesome read. The other song below, "BoJack", sounds very much like one the Cramps would've had a field day with. Who knows, maybe they did cover it. I could never keep up with those rascals.
