Yellow vinyl LP limited to 1,000 copies.

Remastered from original Dolton & Liberty Records' analog tapes

If ever there was a "band that launched a thousand bands," it would be the Ventures. Founded in Tacoma, Washington, in 1958, their guitar-based instrumental sound would prove hugely influential, inspiring countless followers to pick up a guitar, bass or set of drumsticks and try to emulate their heroes. As these musical neophytes would soon learn, it wasn't as easy as it initially appeared. The Ventures were masters of tone and technique, deftly arranging their instruments in a seamless approach that was instantly recognizable. Because they were an instrumental group, their songs needed no translation, which resulted in a huge worldwide following. This disc features 12 selections from the instrumental group from the 1950's including the title tracks "Telstar" and "The Lonely Bull", as well as "Last Night" and the ever-popular "Tequila".

Sundazed is proud to rightfully address the magnificent Ventures' catalog-each title has been sourced from the original Dolton and Liberty Records' reels and painstakingly mastered to sound and feel like they were originally intended. Along with precise artwork restoration on each title, these new Sundazed editions stand as the definitive re-releases of these monumentally important albums. Long may they rock!
