The Fireballs – Quite A Party
Thursday, December 11th, 2008The Fireballs – Quite A Party

I found this scruffy-looking 45 among a huge stack of equally scruffy bits and bobs whilst having a dig in the basement of Flashback (see London Record Shops) earlier this year. I knew The Fireballs had done some instrumentals on a similar vibe to The Champs (of Tequila fame) so grabbed this in the hope it might be worth checking out. And when I got home I played this side about 10 times consecutively: I love it! Turns out Quite A Party is an urgent rockabilly instrumental from 1961 and this copy, despite looking like it has been used as a doormat for twenty years, actually plays great. A great addition to my collection!
