The first LP in the series, Big Sounds of the Drags, released October 1963 sold over 100.000 units.

Economides (a former dragster himself) brings as many as five engineers and a complete recording studio in a moving van and strings microphones along the quarter-mile track, which offers the desired stereo effect. [billboard]
