At first they were contracted by the renowned record label of Argentina, EMI ODEON, where they recorded their first LP (Long Play) record, titled Déjame Mirate, this material contained all compositions by band themselves since that was the requirement of the recording company. Two hits such as: "Recién Ayer" y "Déjame Mirarte" marked the entry into the great artistic market, performing in the best places in the capital of Argentina, similarly in all the principal cities of the interior of that country like: Mar de Plata, Córdoba, Rosario, Santa Fe, Tucumán, Mendoza, Salta, and others.

Due to the great number of records sold in Buenos Aires and the principal cities, the recording company decided in 1970 to record the second record titled Cuando te Miro. As little as one year after the arrival of the group in Argentina, Blue Caps have already recorded two albums with such success that made this group the top in sales and rankings in the primary radios of the country. It is also worth mentioning that from the second record Roland Percy withdrew from the band and was replaced by an Argentine vocalist, Sasha Bravo. That same year the group decided to relocate to Buenos Aires to fulfill various contracts for recordings and performances obtained through their representative, Natalio Pavonni, who was appointed by ODEON POPS.

One year later in 1972, the fourth record, Volverás mi Amor, Yo te Esperare, was launched, the record represented the greatest success of Blue Caps, at same time propelled a new tour through more than 10 Central-American countries.
