Slinky & Mr Guitar are both great and cover Link's most well known
stuff from the 1960's. The material on the "They're Outta Here," says
Archie CD was recorded when Rumble came out. It is a bit more raw than
the Epic & Swan recordings.
I'm not so sure about the claim that the Cadence recordings were never
released before. Cadence never put the LP out but my brother has an LP
that he bought from Link (he sold them out of his car at shows) back
in the early 1960's. It was the one he always played because the Epic
& Swan stuff sounded "too mellow" (Ha!) I think that LP may have been
from the Cadence recordings that the Wrays released on their own (that
LP was on Vern Wray's Vermillion lable.) This CD sounds a lot more
like I remember that LP sounding. I have a tape of it somewhere, just
need to find it and a working tape player so I can A/B them some time.
