This remarkable release contains unreleased recordings as well as rare photos and detailed liner notes from Robert Gordon and Link Wray's first European tour back in 1978.
In 1977, these two rockers paid little attention to the trends of the day and instead pursued their own musical goals with determination.
They were the young Robert Gordon (1947-2022) with his rockabilly-style Elvis quiff and charmingly smooth voice, and 'old rocker' Link Wray (1929-2005) in his leather outfit.
Wray had scored a bit hit in 1958 with the growling rock 'n' roll instrumental 'Rumble' as Link Wray & His Ray Men, and his music has since been used in many films such as Desperado Independence Day, 12 Monkeys, Blow and Pulp Fiction.
Robert Gordon and Link Wray released two studio albums: Robert Gordon With Link Wray in 1977 and Fresh Fish Special in 1978
They then went their separate ways and Gordon began working with English guitarist Chris Spedding.
Live and on their two albums, Gordon and Wray mixed original compositions with original cover versions of Gene Vincent, Jack Scott, Eddie Cochran and, Johnny Burnette.
On January 24, 1978, during their 1st European tour, the two musicians gave a session at Radio Bremen's studios for the program Musikladen Extra.
They were joined by Jon Paris on bass and Anton Fig on drums.
15 tracks were retrieved from the station's archives in the very best picture and sound quality.
A few days earlier, the tour group had also been in the Netherlands, among other places.
The tapes of an entire concert from January 20, 1978, in Rotterdam still exist.
Robert Gordon himself had arranged for the recording at the live club Eksit.
There is also a video recording of the performance at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on January 21, 1978, which was commissioned by the record company at the time.
This material is now being released under the title 'Rumble: Their First European Tour 1978' as the ultimate live documentation of the work of these two extraordinary musicians.
