## Description

Product description          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!

    Fantastic.  Lost nothing
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2014*

I am a long time fan.  I used to listen to the group when they were at Don Wilson's jamming.  I own every vinyl they've ever recorded.  By now, they are well used and approaching the end of their life.  So I replaced them with MP3s.  The quality closely matches the vinyl when it was new.  I could go into the history of Don, Bob, and Nokie, but it's been done already.  Let's just say they were fantastic Live, and this album recreates that mood.I have many favorites on Walk Don't Run.  For romance, it's got to be My Own True Love, for Upbeat it's the Switch.  And the title track is not bad.  A rock n roll mood it's always Night Train.  Top favorite has got to be Caravan.  Top Memory is Diamond Head.This album is 50 years old, and was their first compilation. It has lost nothing. Technically excellent, as you'd expect an MP3 to be. Give Vol 1 & 2 and I'm happy

    An overlooked anthology
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2006*

I bought this CD on a whim but it turns out to be a great value for $13.99.  It contains all their best songs but, with this disclaimer, they are new recordings. But, that said, these new tracks sound great as they were recorded on equipment using modern technology.Their version of Pipeline is the second-best version ever - sorry, nobody can improve on the original by the Chantays.  I record a lot of compilations and the Ventures make a great seque between several genres of music.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great package of the early Ventures
  

*by U***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2013*

The Ventures were a true blueprint for so many bands, from the 60's up through today.  Their twin guitar sound defined great instrumental rock for me.  They were young guys on a roll when this came out, about 1960.  It contains many of the big hits they played for the next 50+ years.  The recordings were basic (a good thing), with minimal effects besides reverb.  It suits the music and the times. This release has their entire first album, with each song done in both mono and in stereo.  Along with two bonus Ventures tracks, you get several songs from Bert Weedon, who influenced almost every British invasion era guitarist (Page, Townshend, Beck, Clapton, Harrison, Lennon, etc.) with instructional books, TV appearances, and recordings.  I grew up loving the Beatles, Who, Stones, but didn't know Weedon - it's real interesting to take one-step-back and enjoy the roots of the more famous guitarists.  Overall, a very enjoyable listen.
