The Best Of The Fireballs: The Original Norman Petty Masters

25 cuts from their heyday as instrumental rockers, 1959-1964, mostly drawn from rare singles (with some LP cuts thrown in). The Fireballs' Tex-Mex was tasteful and idiosyncratic, as well as homogeneous...Includes all three of their early hits ("Torquay," "Quite a Party," "Bulldog"), although it doesn't have any of their material with Jimmy Gilmer, or their '68 comeback hit, "Bottle of Wine." ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
