Description
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!
