"Fight Fire" was one of their last singles before they changed their name to CCR, and started making hits. The only other Golliwogs cut readily availabe is "Porterville", which for some unknown reason showed up on CCR's debut album. A re-recorded version of another Golliwogs cut ("Walk On The Water") is also on the debut album. All the Golliwogs singles were released on a now out-of-print mid-70's album. "Fight Fire" is available on the compliation box set, "Nuggets: Original Artifacts From The First Psychedelic Era, 1965-68", from Amazon.com. Questions? Comments? E-mail diamhed@aol.com
