Surf Rock and Instrumental Review: The Best of The Fireballs—The Original Norman Petty Masters

Norman Petty was a brilliant man who saw the group's talent, The Fireballs.

The Best of The Fireballs—The Original Norman Petty Masters features great music by some very talented musicians. These are classics taken from the original masters.

The period covered the late 1950s through the early 1960s. This is essential Fireball music. It is a must-have piece for anyone who is a fan or collector of their music.

If you know anything about the history of instrumental rock, or if you don't, The Fireballs, The Ventures, and The Shadows were key components in developing the classic surf instrumental sound from the 1950s onward.

Your collection would be incomplete without it. It's good rock' n' roll performed by some true craft masters. It's a delightful journey down a road forever preserved in time.
