This is a great copy of the best of the Ventures. Good sound quality of the oldies but goodies.

This review is from: The Ventures - Walk Don't Run: All Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Everytime he picks up his guitar, my boyfriend has to make "Walk, don't run" and he enjoy doing it (that smile on his face!). So the other day I asked him who was the band and he had no clue (his answer was 1960 music with guys dressed with ties).

How can I find who's playing with so less informations. I just took a similar song that I knew "Sleep walk" by Farina and I found the Ventures within 10 minutes (they also performed that song).

I knew 80% of the songs on their album!! No wonder the songs are so cute but very short songs. Hard to decide which one is my favorite as they have all some character.

Okay, I will also buy the album they did on TV themes

This is a great compilation of the Ventures greatest hits, although they could've put more songs on here, the Ventures had alot more hits than 12 songs. Although I gave it five stars because all the tracks are wonderful. Here is a list of the songs and how I rate each one.

1. Walk Don't Run-Excellent track, the Ventures' greatest hit.
2. Prefidia-Great song but it sounds like a slower version of Walk Don't Run.
3.Hawaii Five-0-One of my favorites from the album AWESOME SONG
4.Summer Place-Also one of my favs.
5.Secret Agent Man-Got that James Bond feel to it.EXCELLENT
6.Lolita Ya-Ya-Alright song, not as good as the others.
7.Wipe Out-Also another good song, fast and talented drumming.
8.Slaughter on Tenth Avenue-Ventures second best track.
9.Diamond Head-GREAT
10.Ram-Bunk-Shush-GREAT
11.Blue Moon-Great
12.Lullaby of the Leaves-GREAT

Also a great album for younger audiences too. Hey I'm thirteen, and I like them alot. GREAT BAND.
