In 1982 the band was signed by Northwood Records in London. The first release, recorded in London, was the four track EP, Rockin' Shoes, produced with input from Boz Boorer of The Polecats. This was followed by the single Man With No Name c/w Prison Walls. This second session was recorded at UEA Norwich. An album followed which included the already released tracks plus She Gave Me Love and I Won't See The Sunrise Anymore.

Fireball XL5 featured strong science fiction plot lines using plot devices such as time travel, teleportation, hypnosis, and alien possession. This was juxtaposed with the poetic license taken when dealing with real scientific concepts which saw characters able to live and speak in a vacuum after taking an oxygen pill; this was presumably to do with the difficulty and cost associated with changing the puppet's costumes, articulated by Gerry Anderson in various DVD commentaries.
