The Fireballs

“Come On, React!”

ATCO Records SD 33-275

LP Released in 1969

 

A killer record from some original kings of surf rock.  Recorded by Norman Petty, who was kind of like the John Peel or Jack Endino of his time: well-known for his characteristic studio perfection, and had previously launched Buddy Holly’s career.  This was The Fireballs’ last studio album before Jimmy Gilmer left, and is still a great artifact of the time.  Additionally, this copy is STILL FACTORY SEALED!  A great find, and looks practically brand new.

The grade of the record is Mint, it is unopened and unplayed.  The cover grades to VG++ with small dings on the corners, a very light soft bend on one corner and a tiny drill hole in the upper left (about 1/8th of an inch).  And strangely enough, there is a small bit of text scribbled with a ballpoint pen underneath of the shrink-wrap; it had to be there since it was sealed, and reads “3 x 100” (you can zoom in on the photo of the cover and see it top center).  The cover has bright artwork, and looks very nice for 43 years old.  And, of course, the record inside has never been touched.
