the fireballs

Crashing out of Raton, New Mexico in the early '60s, the Fireballs' echoey, sonic blasts (recorded by the legendary Norman Petty) would, for all time, set a high-standard for guitar-driven instrumentals. These Sundazed releases feature the group's classic Top Rank, Warwick, and Dot label material, and more (including the top-forty smashes "Torquay" and Bulldog"), plus loads more firecracker guitar workouts.First up: the band's ultra-rare 1960 debut album, The Fireballs (with bonus tracks), the incredible Torquay album (with bonus tracks), and Gunshot! a Sundazed rarities collection filled with crunchy single-sides, original foreign-only 45's, and cuts that have never been issued in the U.S. until now. Fireballs leader, composer and main Strat-slinger George Tomsco supplied us with rare photos and memorabilia from his personal collection and penned the detailed notes for each disc!
