This quintessential edition contains one of the band’s most celebrated albums, The Ventures Play Telstar, which was originally released by the small Dolton label in 1962 and has been long unavailable on vinyl. It helped define the exact nature of early instrumental rock. While nothing on this splendid LP is surf music in the purest sense, it is easy to hear elements of the style here.

THE VENTURES:

DON WILSON, rhythm and lead guitar
BOB BOGLE, lead guitar and bass
NOKIE EDWARDS, bass and guitar
MEL TAYLOR, drums
Unidentified organ, trumpets and female backing vocals.

Recorded in Los Angeles, California, between 1961 and 1962.
