Hailing from Raton, New Mexico, the Fireballs were New Mexico's first Rock & Roll recording band to become internationally known.
The group was christened the Fireballs after their standing ovation performance of "Great Balls of Fire" at the Raton High School PTA talent contest in January 1958. By the year's end they had auditioned for the late Norman Petty at his already internationally famous recording studio at 1313 W. 7th Street, Clovis, New Mexico. January 1959 found their first record released on KAPP records. "Fireball", a guitar instrumental; which was the Billboard 'pick' which resulted in the first airplay and sales.
Petty soon negotiated a contract for the group with a new aggressive British based label in the US, Top Rank Records. As a result more chart instrumental singles and albums followed: "Torquay", "Bulldog", and "Vaquero" which led to two appearances on Dick Clark's American Bandstand shows.
Original Swedish EP, containing Bulldog, Torquay, Kissin' and Foot-patter.
