It's Big Wednesday in the little studio under the stairs. Come, Gremmies and gather around the beach bonfire. Crack open a bottle of Thunderbird, spark up a jazz cigarette and bop your espadrilles off to these gnarly instros.

Wave-breaking guitar gut-busters from Link Wray, The Wailers, Bobby Fuller Four, Eddie & the Showmen and many more beach-bums. Plus a headbanging finale from Dick Dale.

In the 1970s and 80s a stack of classic Rockabilly compilations based on major labels were issued that became essential for every collection. MCA, CBS, MGM, Capitol, Mercury, Imperial - the list goes on.
Almost every song from those LPs have become standards, a soundtrack for our lives.

So does The Rockabilly DJ play a show from these albums? No! That would be too easy!

This episode contains classics from those long players, but ONLY ON 45rpm ORIGINALS! A whole hour of the very best records in the world ever!

We are very proud of this episode, and believe it to be the finest we have *ever* presented to you. Enjoy.
