This debut album by the Ventures is surprisingly good, considering that it was recorded in a huge rush, during an era when all concerned couldn t help but know that rock roll albums apart from those by Elvis Presley generally didn t sell very well -- indeed, the fact that it is so good speaks volumes about the class and talent of the group at this early point in their history. With a sudden and totally unexpected number two national hit in Walk, Don t Run and a burgeoning demand for live performances, the quartet went in and recorded the best 11 tracks they knew to get a long-player together, all done in such a hurry that the members themselves couldn t stay around long enough to be photographed for the cover those are stand-ins . The result is surprisingly sophisticated in its use of stereo then still relatively unusual in rock roll, stereo LPs having only debuted three years earlier, and largely confined to classical recordings , dividing the sound of the band quite neatly on two sides, thus giving LP purchasers a treat that owners of the single Walk, Don t Run would miss -- not only the sound separation that was so prized by audiophiles of the era, but crisp presentation of each instrument, dividing the two guitars very neatly. Thus, the casual listener could play with the speaker settings and balances, and the serious fans could get in close on the actual playing. The material is a mix of originals and hits drawn from every category, including earlier rock roll instrumentals Raunchy , R B Night Train, and even film music My Own True Love Tara s Theme -- one can just make out the familiar Max Steiner Gone With the Wind motif on the latter, and it is a fairly inventive approach to an old musical chestnut, rebuilding it from the ground up. The material all has a lean jauntiness, most unexpectedly Night Train, which sounds closer in spirit to Chet Atkins here than to Buddy Morrow or King Curtis. The originals were no filler, either, The McCoy being a hot piece of surf guitar showcasing all concerned.

lt if supportLists gt lt endif gt CONDITION:
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt lt endif gt THE RECORD
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt a lt endif gt WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG , JUST A NOTCH BELOW NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions probably just sleeve scuffs inflicted in storage over the years ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt b lt endif gt The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt c lt endif gt Stereo pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its mono counterpart. The mix is more graphic, the sound resolution more precise, and the channel separation which does not exist on mono version adds a whole new dimension to the music. Also, the stereo mixes are by definition somewhat different than on the mono version. We estimate that mono copies of this album outnumber stereo copies by a ratio of at least 5:1.
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt d lt endif gt The record comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt e lt endif gt Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt lt endif gt THE COVER
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD VG .
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt Cover has some light ring wear nothing significant On the scale from 1 to 10 1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe , we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 front side and 3 back side
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt The cover has circular tarnish grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record , probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging nothing significant
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt Cover has a small ex-libris stamp on the back panel
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt Cover has a minor bump dent on the spine nothing significant
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams nothing significant
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportLists gt - lt endif gt Cover has some fraying/wear along the upper seam
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
lt if supportEmptyParas gt lt endif gt
NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
