Artist:  The Ventures

Title:  Knock Me Out!

Date:  1965

Label:  Dolton Records   BLP-2033

Cover Design and Photography:  Studio Five

Notes:  Here's a slab of Ventures vinyl that has that nice Telstar feel. The keys work together with the guitars to give us the space-age sound we know and love. Fat fuzztone guitars and some tasty whammy-bar action is all I need to set the head to bobbing and weaving in bliss. Must be nice to have Mosrite produce a guitar model with you bands name on the head. This record is chock full of toe-tappers and there's nary a note out of place throughout the entire set. Great cover photos, especially for those guitar loves among us. Don't shy away from this one.
