"Goodtime Joe" by Link Wray. I can't find it anywhere. It's a crime that album with Goodtime Joe,Rocket 88,and Backwoods Preacher Man hasn't been put back into production.
If you ain't heard Link Wray play Goodtime Joe,you ain't heard rock and roll guitar.

Yeah,that's the man. If you ever get a chance to buy his 1973 Polydor album that is titled,"Link Wray Rumble",buy it! I think it went out of print in 74,and has never been re-released. I finally wore out my second copy,and the only new one I could find was in Germany,and I had to pay 130 bucks for the damn thing! If you had any idea how cheap I am,that would really mean something to you. I never paid even $20 for a album before or since.
BTW,seems like he put out a couple of albums with "Rumble" in the title because it was his best known hit. If it doesn't have Goodtime Joe,Backwood Preacher Man,or Rocket 88 on it,it's not the right one.

Hi, pete. ever heard of GEMM before? found this nice little 1/1/74 Polydor pressing, release no. PD 6025 on there for $22, and the dealer is in the U.S. there was another one for $18 in France. they have almost anything you can think of listed on there, and lots of classic vinyl. I picked up a complete cd collection of "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band", along with 'Framed' and a few others with no problems. was able to get them all through their approved dealers and the shipping wasn't much on ones that came from europe.
I have that record. It's the one with the sorta strobe photo of him on the front. I've sold off a lot of my vinyl but I have kept that one. Mine's in nearly mint shape, because back then I just bought my first tape deck and taped my albums and listened to them on cassette, since I had this mondo amplifier with about 1000 watts a channel, and the input didn't matter too much. Plus, the volume made records skip.
