The Starfires is a garage rock band from Los Angeles that is best known for one of the most sought-after 45s of the mid-1960's, "I Never Loved Her", which can command prices of $1000 or more (although reproductions of the single are available also). This is not the same band as the Starfires of Cleveland, the predecessor band to the Outsiders.
