The Ventures are the most successful and influential Instrumental group of all time, with worldwide record sales in excess of 110 million. Their influence was immeasurable, effectively providing the template for The Shadows and just about every other Instrumental group that followed!This unique compilation comprises their first four LPs in their entirety, plus the single versions of their first two hits, "Walk Don't Run" and "Perfidia" - which or course includes the equally rare B Sides. Also included on this superb 2CD set is a rare July 1961 radio interview with Ventures main men Bob Bogle and Don Wilson.The group continues to enjoy widespread international popularity and remain particularly popular in Japan and the Far East, where at their peak they outsold The Beatles by 2:1!Tracklisting DISC 1 1.

Being a fan of guitar music I am slowly replacing my vinyl collection for CDs.Ventures are a quality group that have always maintained their standard.

Beautiful music will always remain that way.
I remember The Ventures in the 60s and they were good. Now to have their album collection takes me back to that era how wonderful.

First Four of the Foremost Guitar Instrumental Groups.
The Ventures- Now probably like me (if You are British) you may be wondering who the heck are they?Well the best way to describe them is to think of them as an American Version of the Shadows (without Cliff of Course!).But that would be doing a dis service because the Ventures preceeded the Shadows and in fact set the template for a heck of a lot of Guitar instrumentalist groups that followed.Groups like the Surfaris in America and the English Shadows.In their day they were THE instrumental group and in America that really is saying something.SO if we want to be exact the Shadows are an English version of the Ventures.This 2 CD set digitally enhanced and in stereo contains the Ventures first four LPs (or albums).They were originally released in Mono so if you already have the LPs this could open up a whole new dimension in sound for you.Should you invest in the set?My suggestion is to use the Amazon 'preview' the tracks and listen.Within 2 minutes your mind will be made up.If your on a certain vintage and you loved the Shadows and that type of instrumental type sound then this is the set for you.This is the height of the guitar Instrumental group sound.
