The first release 7 EP Let..s Rock Tonight came out spring 2004 and it got good reviews in rockin.. magazines all over Europe.

"Selskapet vil kun gi ut plater på vinyl og hvis Mike Bell & the Belltones blir representativ for selskapet har vi mye moro i vente. På ep'n er det fire egenskrevne 50's rockabillylåter med flotte melodier, plukkete gitar og et komp som svinger. Man kommer i godt humør av dette. Alle fire låtene har særpreg og står godt til hverandre....når du hører Let's Pretend We're Sweethearts, du blir forelsket uansett - i Mike Bell & the Belltones." 8 / 10

"Mike Bell & The Belltones on osoitus suomalaisten rock..n..roll yhtyeiden hyvästä ja laajasta tasosta..." - Johnny Kniga"Kaiken lisäksi tämä timakka klassikko tarjoillaan vinyylillä. Voiko enempää vaatia? EP on kenties kaikista julkaisuformaateista paras ja kun ne neljä siivua tulee kiiltävältä mustalta muovilta kaiuttimiin asti analogisessa muodossa niin tämähän on aivan tappokamaa."
- Ducktails"Hyvälle rockabillylle löytyy aina yleisöä ja kouvolalaisen The Belltonesin vinyyli-EP on kohderyhmälleen kuin pullo hunajaa. Mike Bell & The Belltones sekä julkaisijana toimiva Showdown Records ovat tehneet komean debyytin."
