In 1961, the group changed its name from The Frazers to The Spotnicks and they signed a contract with Karusell Records. The Spotnicks spent a lot of time at Casa Leon in Berlin and they also performed in France and Spain. In 1962, The Spotnicks began to get airplay on the influential Radio Luxembourg. The Spotnicks toured England. As a gimmick they wore space-suits while on stage. In the Autumn The Spotnicks recorded their first LP in London, The Spotnicks in London Out-a-space. The whole album was recorded in 17 hours! Single releases from this LP reached quite high spots in the English charts.
While in France, they recorded the rest of the songs for their second LP The Spotnicks in Paris. Orange blossom special reached number one in the Australian chart! The Spotnicks recorded their third LP The Spotnicks in Spain, which was released in many countries. Over the next few years, The Spotnicks recorded several more LPs, charted in Japan, jammed with The Shadows, and even made it to Mexico! Although largely forgotten by the general public now, The Spotnicks were Sweden's first musical export, and in their day they were a major international act.
