***** THESE ARE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS BY THE VENTURES ******(updated 1st Jul 2010) By Long Distance Voyager.
"The Very Best Of The Ventures" is good worth getting - it has many of their best known hits, together with for anyone non familiar amongst 'The Ventures', this is a keen introduction to them! This album shows the keen talent these guys convey inwards playing their guitars, earlier everything got 'teched-out' yesteryear only pushing a few buttons to larn whatever audio or number i wants. These guys mastered it yesteryear every bit few effects together with by together with large yesteryear creatively doing it yesteryear mitt effects on the guitar-strings! The best songs inwards my sentiment on this CD album are: "Wipeout" (They produce it the best), "Green Onions" (Excellent version), "Pipeline" (Another classic), together with "Out Of Limits" (They produce it the best). If your non certain which Venture alblum to get, together with desire a adept introduction to them, larn this album! Enjoy! By JW.
