Description

Link Wray Paradiso Concert Poster Group (1979) Guitarist Link Wray pioneered the "Power Chord" by dragging a major chord up and down the neck of his electric guitar on his 1958 signature tune, "Rumble". Link and his brothers Vernon and Doug toured the world as Link Wray and the Raymen, chalking up hits like "Rawhide" and "Jack the Ripper" that went over big with the black leather jacket crowd. In the late 1970s, he teamed up with former Tuff Darts singer Robert Gordon, whose rockabilly-style records helped revive Wray's solo career. This 16" x 23.5" poster, with its stark black and white photo of Link in his trademark sunglasses, promoted an appearance at Amsterdam's Paradiso. Also included is a 5.5" x 8.5" pink-paper Robert Gordon flyer, plus a copy of Gordon and Wray's 1978 "Fire" 45 single, in a VG+ picture sleeve. All other items are in NM- condition.
