Walk Don't Run - The Best Of The Ventures |
$11.98 |
Trying to squeeze a representative sample of the Ventures
onto one CD is an exercise in futility. Fans will be sure to find some
favorites missing, heck they didn't even include all of the charted
singles, let alone make much of a dent in the zillion instrumentals that
Nokie Edwards and company recorded. The 26 tunes here are a good start
though and it can't hurt to add 3 radio spots and a long interview either.
The Ventures were one of the most influential groups in rock'n'roll
history so surely this must be a stop gap until the box set comes along.
But in the meantime this will be a worthy replacement for those scratchy,
well played LP's. Walk Don't Run/ Perfidia/ Ram-Bunk-Shush/ The 2000
Pound Bee (Parts 1 & 2)/ The Savage/ Slaughter On Tenth Avenue/ Hawaii
Five-O , etc. (AE)

Surfing |
$16.98 |
30 tracks, 74 min, highly recommended. Reissue of the
Ventures' classic
"Surfing" LP from '63, their first attempt at making expressly
"surf" music, a genre they helped create with their
groundbreaking guitar instrumentals a few years earlier. This also marks
the groups' first reliance on original material, fine tunes like Surf
Rider/Ten Over/Changing Tides/The Ninth Wave alongside their great
version of Pipeline. A very generous selection of bonus tracks
makes this disc even better, vintage singles like Hawaii Five-O/Perfida/Walk
Don't Run '64 and outstanding Lp tracks Let's
Go/Sukiyaki/Torquay/Moon Over Manakoora. You might also be interested
in the bands' self-released single from '81 Showdown At Newport/Surfin'
& Spyin' and four cuts from a '93 tour of Japan. Don't worry, the
Ventures still rock! Some cool photos, too. (GDR)

Liberty 32820 |
Live In Japan '65 |
$15.98 |
29 tracks, 78 min, essential On March 5, 1965, the Ventures
played an incredible 80-minute concert at Tokyo Kosei Nenkin Hall in
Japan. The show was released in Japan (as the double album "All About
The Ventures") but has not been released in the US until now, and all I can
say is, wow! Not only are the Ventures as flawless and tight live as they
are in the studio, but spark-plug drummer Mel Taylor drives the band with
an energy level rarely heard on record. The set list runs the gamut from Bulldog/Penetration/The
Cruel Sea/Out Of Limits/Pipeline/Wipe Out/Walk Don't Run '64/Surf Rider
to House Of The Rising Sun/Love Potion No. 9/Slaughter On Tenth Avenue/
The Pink Panther Theme/ The Lonely Bull/I Feel Fine/Telstar and closes
with nearly ten minutes of Caravan. Adding to the fun is local MC
Bing Conception who continually reappears to introduce songs and band
members. Certainly some of the greatest Ventures I've ever heard, and a
real ear-opener if you haven't heard 'em onstage in their prime. (GDR)

tracks ranging from hot rockers (Bluejean Bop/ Who Slapped John/ Jumps,

Believe/ Double Talkin' Baby, etc), Gene's unique and effective take
on pop standards (Jezebel/ Wedding Bells/ Lazy River/ Unchained Melody,
etc) and a couple of country tunes (Waltz Of The Wind/ Blues Stay Away
From Me). Great singing by Gene and tough backup from the Bluecaps
often featuring the distinctive guitar of the great Cliff Gallup. (FS)

The Masters |
$14.98 |
2 CDs, 36 tracks, 89 mins, recommended Now available at a
lower price. Two CD featuring 36 tracks from the latter part of Gene's
career including his Challenge Recordings, various singles, live
performances with various British groups, a couple of demos from 1958 and
his last recordings cut in Ronny Weiser's living room in 1971 and later
overdubbed with additional instrumentation. Includes Rocky Road Blues/

Me/ Temptation Baby/ Story Of The Rockers/ Bird Doggin'/ I've Got My Eyes
On You/ Poor Man's Prison/ Words And Music/ She She Little Sheila and
others. Some of the songs and arrangements don't do Gene justice but his
singing is great and his version of Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home
from 1971 is a real beauty. (FS)

$19.98 |
20 tracks, 63 mins, recommended More rare and previously
unissued tracks from Gene. Seven tracks are from his 1967 Challenge
recordings - six are alternate takes that were previoulsy reissued on a
Hollowbody CD in the USA some years ago and one is the version of Lonely
Street minus the vocal group overdubs. There are 11 live tracks from a
concert in Geneva, Switzerland in 1967 with Gene accompanied by French
group Le Rock 'n' Roll Gang. Sound quality isn't the greatest but Gene is
in top form on a collection of his old classics, some of his more recent
recordings and some rock 'n' roll standards - Bird Doggin'/ Long Tall
Sally/ I'm Goin' Home/ Born To be A Rolling Stone / Rocky Road Blues/
Be-Bop-A-Lula and others. Rounding out the set are a 5 minute
bi-lingual interview recorded just before the show and a weird acapella
version of Be-Bop-A-Lula recorded by Gene's daughter Sherri Ann in
1994 with some friends which add nothing to this set! (FS)

The Best Of The Vogues |
$16.98 |
The Vogues had 2 sides of a career, each, illustrated here
by an LP side. From '65-'68, the group was a high energy pop band, led by
Bill Burkette's strong voice, background harmonies and rock back up gave
them 4 successive hits for Co+Ce - You're The One/ Five O'Clock World/
Magic Town/ Land Of Milk & Honey . In '68, after Co+Ce folded,
they went to Reprise where they became a smoothe as silk MOR harmony band
in a 4 Lads vein, releasing 7 cover tune singles between June '68 - June
'69, having huge hits with Glen Campbell's Turn Around Look At Me ,
Bobby Helm's My Special Angel , The Angels' Till and The 4
Lads' Moments To Remember ....
