RARE LINK WRAY FOR SALE!“1959 SPRING DANCE PARTY PROGRAM”
ONE OF ONE!
COVER CONDITION - VG+, SOME COVER WEAR.
ADDED NOTES - I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING LINK WRAY FOR 40 YEARS. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY ORIGINAL COPY OF THE 1959 SPRING DANCE PARTY PROGRAM I HAVE EVER SEEN.
WHAT MAKES THIS ONE ALL THE MORE SPECIAL IS THAT IT COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER AD FROM THE TOUR’S STOP AT THE RIVERSIDE THEATER.
THE RIVERSIDE THEATER GIGS ARE WHERE LINK FIRST DITCHED HIS SPORTCOAT AND TIE, AND BEGAN TO WEAR HIS BLACK LEATHER JACKET, AS TOLD BY THE KALIN TWINS IN THE BOOK CAPITOL ROCK. THIS SET THE TONE FOR THE REST OF LINK’S CAREER.
THE SPRING DANCE PARTY WAS RUN BY THE GENERAL ARTIST CORPORATION, WHO JUST A COUPLE MONTHS EARLIER, RAN THE WINTER DANCE PARTY - WHERE BUDDY HOLLY, THE BIG BOPPER AND RITCHIE VALENS DIED.
ABOUT THIS ITEM -
This item comes from the personal collection and historical archives of Greg Laxton, who was the music historian behind the Link Wray website for the past 20 years. Greg has been a Link Wray archivist, historian and collector for over 40 years. Greg was a consultant and appeared in the Link Wray segment of the Canadian Screen Awards and Sundance award-winning “Rumble” documentary.
Greg has contributed liner notes for various Link Wray recording projects, and written the acceptance speeches for several awards ceremonies. He was intimately involved with the Wray Estate and Link Wray festivals. He has been the source of several rare Link Wray photographs and recordings, including the Rumble documentary, and most recently the long lost “Son of Rumble” recordings. He has been interviewed for numerous articles, radio shows, and books on Link Wray.
Over the coming few weeks, we will be listing Greg’s entire Link Wray collection - from the entry level collectible to the “rarest of the rare.”
Winning bids over $200 on any item will receive a new L or XL Link Wray tee shirt (our choice while supplies last) as an extra gift.
Thank you for your interest. It is Greg’s hope these items will find a new home with another appreciative collector of Link Wray. If you are purchasing multiple items, PLEASE WAIT for a combined shipping invoice. 827 (GS 7.0.13 (827))
