Pathway could have been made for Link Wray. When the great man first stepped through the door in November 1989 to cut an album for Ace Records, it already had quite a reputation as a no-nonsense, 8-track rock’n’roll studio. Built at the end of the 60s it came into its own after being discovered by Dave Edmunds in the mid-70s, becoming a favourite recording location for pioneering new labels like Chiswick and Stiff.
