Artist:  The Ventures

Title: The Ventures (visual sound STEREO)

Date:  1961

Label:  Dolton Records   BST 8004

Cover Design: Pate/Francis & Associates

Photography: Garrett-Howard. Inc.  

Notes:  Given the right material these boys can swing, rock and flat-out play. This is one of those records. All the tracks show the Ventures in top form and you just can't beat that cover photo. I wonder where those guitars are now? Nice functional artwork on the back cover as well. And to quote from the cover notes: "...and this album will make an excellent contribution to your dancing and listening pleasure". The cover just calls this record "The Ventures" (not very helpful in determining which album one is really speaking about), but I refer to it as: "...visual sound STEREO" as stated on the top of the cover. 

Line Up:

Bob Bogle - Lead/Bass Guitar
Nokie Edwards - Lead/Bass Guitar
Don Wilson - Rhythm Guitar
Howie Johnson - Drums
