The music of The Fireballs came out of the creative hothouse that was Norman Petty's Clovis studios (where Buddy Holly cut great music too)."Almost Paradise" is an exotic bachelor pad style instrumental that was released in 1960 on this 45. It was also to be on their second Top Rank album "Blue Fire" which never saw the light of day as the Top Rank International label went bankrupt before the album's release.
