 Track Listings - The VENTURES are the top selling instrumental group since the 1950's. They are also one of the most influencial bands of the rock era. While having great success in the USA, they are idol's in Great Britain and Japan. Many major guitarists of today trace their beginnings to the "Play Guitar With The Ventures" and these two albums.

The Original "Walk Don't Run" (the first album) is an adaption of a Chet Atkins song, (some of his early works are excellent) and was their first big hit, and caused a rapid succession of copy bands to follow, (Pyramids, Safaris, Challengers, etc). The Ventures were one of the few bands of the 50-60's to release albums of good material, versus one or two 45's with filler. Examples here include the cover of "Raunchy", "Honky Tonk", Caravan", "Night Train" and others

The second album is the Ventures caught at their best, this being one of a series of albums whose production and music where way ahead of their time. ( The Ventures albums "Knock Me Out", " Out of Space" and "Surfing" came at this time.

The new version of " Walk Don't Run '64" is excellent, wih a lot of bass, with a little bit of Phil Spector thrown in. "Diamond Head" is a classic Ventures song, and "Peach Fuzz" and "Pedal Pusher" show up under different names at different times on different albums. The originals are here. "House of the Rising Sun" is awesome, as I used to copy it when learning Bass Guitar.

THIS IS A GREAT DEAL FOR TWO ALBUMS, and is worth the price. If a serious collector, note this album as a major artifact of the rock era.

Limited Edition 180g Green Vinyl LP! Re-mastered From Original Analogue Tapes! 

If ever there was a "band that launched a thousand bands," it would be the Ventures. Founded in Tacoma, Washington in 1958, their guitar-based instrumental sound would prove hugely influential, inspiring countless followers to pick up a guitar, bass or set of drumsticks and try to emulate their heroes. As these musical neophytes would soon learn, it wasn't as easy as it initially appeared. The Ventures were masters of tone and technique, deftly arranging their instruments in a seamless approach that was instantly recognizable. Because they were an instrumental group, their songs needed no translation, which resulted in a huge worldwide following. While many rock bands have claimed to be "big in Japan" over the years, the Ventures were the country's first rock superstars and they maintain a devoted worldwide following to this day. With over 100 million records sold, they are the best selling instrumental group of all time. 

Sundazed is proud to rightfully address the magnificent Ventures' catalog—each title has been sourced from the original Dolton and Liberty Records' reels and painstakingly mastered to sound and feel like they were originally intended. Along with precise artwork restoration on each title, these new Sundazed editions stand as the definitive re-releases of these monumentally important albums. Long may they rock! 

The Ventures' debut album contains songs like "Raunchy", "My Own True Love (Tara's Theme)", "Night Train", "Sleep Walk" and of course, the title track, the hit "Walk, Don't Run".

"This debut album by the Ventures is surprisingly good, considering that it was recorded in a huge rush, during an era when all concerned couldn't help but know that rock & roll albums (apart from those by Elvis Presley) generally didn't sell very well -- indeed, the fact that it is so good speaks volumes about the class and talent of the group at this early point in their history. With a sudden and totally unexpected number two national hit in "Walk, Don't Run" and a burgeoning demand for live performances, the quartet went in and recorded the best 11 tracks they knew to get a long-player together, all done in such a hurry that the members themselves couldn't stay around long enough to be photographed for the cover (those are stand-ins). The result is surprisingly sophisticated in its use of stereo (then still relatively unusual in rock & roll, stereo LPs having only debuted three years earlier, and largely confined to classical recordings), dividing the sound of the band quite neatly on two sides, thus giving LP purchasers a treat that owners of the single "Walk, Don't Run" would miss -- not only the sound separation that was so prized by audiophiles of the era, but crisp presentation of each instrument, dividing the two guitars very neatly. Thus, the casual listener could play with the speaker settings and balances, and the serious fans could get in close on the actual playing. The material is a mix of originals and hits drawn from every category, including earlier rock & roll instrumentals ("Raunchy"), R&B "Night Train," and even film music ("My Own True Love [Tara's Theme]") -- one can just make out the familiar Max Steiner Gone With the Wind motif on the latter, and it is a fairly inventive approach to an old musical chestnut, rebuilding it from the ground up. The material all has a lean jauntiness, most unexpectedly "Night Train," which sounds closer in spirit to Chet Atkins here than to Buddy Morrow or King Curtis. The originals were no filler, either, "The McCoy" being a hot piece of surf guitar showcasing all concerned." - Bruce Eder, allmusic.
