50 songs from the Ventures? KA-POW!!! You've heard these guys before! Could be at the beach. Could be at the dentist office. ( Remember Muzak?) Anyway- The Ventures music is great background for working on the old Buick or grillin' up some chops on the Webber!!! The Bizzy Wolf says- A+A+

Everything was good: fast shipping, good quality CD, nice price. What I didn't really care for was the selection of songs. The Ventures did some really good songs and this CD didn't have the really good songs. The only really good one was "Hawaii Five-O."

The company that did the digitizing did not do a very good job. The quality is not up to par with other CDs I have bought. The tunes are great, but my old 8 tracks sounded a lot better!

This 2-CD set is an excellent compilation of the Venture's catalog over 50 years and includes a number of tracks that I remember (yes, I'm that old) when they were originally released. What is really revealed here is the versatility of the group--and the talent of each member, with some pretty serious guitar licks along the way. It also demonstrates that the band was not just three guitars and a drum kit, which were the heart of the Ventures, but there are also other instruments and voices added to many tracks, creating a much richer and fuller sound. Whether you are familiar with them or not, this set will introduce--or bring back memories of--the Ventures with every track. If you like real music, this is something you should check out.

Lovers of the group listen up; you now have all their greatest arrangements in one 2 disc set, and its more than worth it. Their "cover tunes" are well worth an ear and their originals don't disappoint. Instrumental lovers just starting out should get this as a foundation CD set to build on.
