The Ventures

5 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

This quintessential reissue features one of the band’s finest LPs: their superb debut Walk, Don’t Run (1960). This masterpiece features a mix of originals and hits drawn from several genres, including earlier rock & roll instrumentals (“Raunchy”), R&B numbers (“Night Train”) and even film music (“My Own True Love [Tara’s Theme]”). This musical goldmine was originally issued by the Dolton label, and has been remastered and packaged in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period.
