TUCSON, Ariz. — Detroit had Motown, launching the careers of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Memphis had Sun Records, the first label to record Elvis Presley.
"We were at a high school dance after a basketball game," remembered Lindstrom."This is 1959, rock 'n' roll is just kinda started, it's really a big deal." "I'm a high school kid in Tucson," recalled Lindstrom."I want to make a record, what do I do? The guy spent one minute telling me there's no recording studio in Tucson. 'Come to Phoenix, and you can record it here, and I'll come over and get it, and I'll press the copies of it for you. There's your record.'"
Little did they know that Jack Miller, a future Grammy award-winning engineer, would be there to help them. "Within a week it was pressed and the Tucson radio stations, who were just happy to have a local group, they were playing the record," said Lindstrom."Then we were selling the records to the local record stores."Ray:"Just kind of popped into our minds and we thought it was nice and catchy and it was Zoom Records.Ray:"Well, it did." "We started recording other groups, recalled Lindstrom."We recorded Pete Ronstadt and the Nightbeats.
Later in the summer of 1959, Zoom Records also recorded another Catalina High School group called King Rock and the Knights."Everybody went away to college or did what they were going to do," recalled Lindstrom."We all grew up."
