Album Notes The Ventures: Bob Bogle, Nokie Edwards (guitar, bass); Don Wilson (guitar); Howie Johnston (drums). Producers: Bob Reisdorff, Josie Wilson, Dick Glasser, Joe Saraceno. Includes liner notes by Steve Kolanjian. Digitally remastered by Larry Walsh (February 1990, Capitol Recording Studios). This is part of the EMI Legends Of Rock & Roll series. A nicely chosen best-of by the most popular instrumental rock band in the world, ranging (chronologically) from their first big American hit, 1959's "Walk Don't Run," to their last, 1969's "Hawaii Five-O." Other signature tunes here are the Latin-tinged "Perfidia," and the surf classic "Ram-Bunk-Shush," but the best track is a stomping "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue," from their great LIVE IN JAPAN album. You also get some ace period covers--an appropriately arch version of the "Lolita Ya-Ya" and a fierce and fiery take on "Secret Agent Man," which actually works better as an instrumental.
