Furmanek is a genius!.......2007-06-28

This is among the best sounding of all Ventures CD reissues. Ron Furmanek and Kevin Reeves did a wonderful job of remixing the multi-track master tapes. The new stereo mix is not the original hard right and left with the drums all on one channel. This is a more natural stereo mix with much more punchy bottom and clear highs. Ron Furmanek produced a handfull of great Ventures reissues in the mid '90's. They're all on the EMI label and include "Walk Don't Run, The Very Best Of The Ventures", "Tele-Ventures", "Live in Japan '65" and "The Ventures Christmas Album". Get 'em all.

Classic albums.......2007-06-20

I have had these albums on vinyl for more years than I care to remember and was a little sceptical at first in buying this combination album but I am so pleased that I did. I have only had it a week now and have played it at least five times. I didn't realise how much I missed these classic tunes. The quality of the recording is excellent and the sound is strong and vibrant. Just love it.

The Ventures.......2007-05-07

The ventures sound great on CD, just like the original records.
The cds are hard to find and amazon is great for having this music available. The Ventures bring back many memoriies and now I can listen to the great sounds all over again. Great music, great tracks.

The Ol' Grey Mare.............2007-01-09

"She ain't what she used to be" This music used to feel so vital. The sound was raw and tough. .... Now it seeems tame and lame. Good recording. Fine musicians. It just didn't pull the plough like it used to

La la la..........2006-10-01

These were the first two Ventures albums to be released on CD.

The Ventures Play Telstar, The Lonely Bull was the group's ninth album. It was their best selling album. The original concept for the album was "Hits of the Sixties", but when one of the Ventures heard the instrumental "Telstar" by the Tornados on the radio, he realized that it would be a smash hit. So, the Ventures recorded their own version of the song and added it to the album. The Ventures Telstar album beat the Tornados album into record stores by several weeks, and outsold it. Going along with the original "Hits of the Sixties" concept for the album, there are no original songs on the album. Every song is a cover version of an instrumental hit by somebody else. All very well played, naturally.

Ventures In Space was the group's 14th album. It is a concept album featuring songs with a "science fiction" theme. The "headlining" songs are the cover versions of the surf hits "Out of Limits" and "Penetration", both of which are very well performed. The rest of the songs, including a number of original tunes, are also very good. "War of the Satellites" is a personal favorite of mine.

Ventures fans will enjoy this CD.

COOLEST BAND EVER.......2004-08-27

The Tornados are the coolest rock band ever. This album is a great place to start. Expect crazy robot music and you will be given crazy robot music.

Innovative - Ahead of Their Time.......2004-06-08

The Tornados were perhaps, the most unusual instrumental pop/rock combo of the 60's. Like their British counterparts, the Shadows, they played backup to a notable rock singer; like the Shadows they also cut a number of hits on their own. However, unlike the Shadows, their trademark sound was centred around keyboard instrumentation rather than guitars - although their lead and rythmn guitarists were able to hold their own with any pop group of that era ( evidenced throughout their highly-underated UK version of RIDIN THE WIND which is found on this CD).
With its 24 hits, this compilation represents a pretty good cross-section of what the Tornados were all about. At least 8 of these hits made some significant impact on British and North American charts. If you are unfamilar with the Tornados, you should consider purchasing this CD if only for to hear the unforgettable TELSTAR which was far and away their greatest hit and perhaps, the greatest pop instrumental of the 1960's. Nothing, in my opinion, matches its warm, " feel-good " melody while its driving, crescendo opening generates a level of excitement which even today stirs those who hear it. THE ICE CREAM MAN is one hit that expresses the obvious happiness at the arrival of the ice cream wagon and is a real pleaser even though its playing time is only 1:48. Four of the tunes are familiar movie themes which are uniquely rendered. A few instrumentals seem to ape each other but on the whole the variety of this collection is quite good. PLAY TELSTAR AND OTHER GREAT HITS is a good place to begin discovery of this highly-talented and innovative combo. For the money, it represents a decent bargain.

Customer Reviews:

Very Disappointing.......2004-03-11

The only thing I regret, is that I didn't read the review by Jakgt before I bought this CD. I have an adjective to describe this musical. It rhymes with 'rap' and starts with 'c'

A beautiful game, a beautiful show. It is missed in USA........2002-10-02

The was one of the last shows I saw in England in the summer of 2001 - pre 9/11. I suggest the previous reviewer go back and listen to the words of wisdom when love triumphs over hate (and vice versa).

I believe this to be the most simplistic of Webber & Co.'s musicals and to me, it really works. Twenty people, a bare stage and boundless energy in the singing and dancing give this musical its edge before you start thinking about its politics. It reminded me of how youth is wasted on silly stuff, much in the way WEST SIDE STORY did a two generations ago.

We are not a soccer country. Many Americans know no more about Ireland than what happens on St. Patrick's Day (Green beer?). But we do understand sport, love, sex, loyalty, betrayal and internicine strife. Just image white and black instead of English and Irish, and you might get the picture.

Did I mention that the music is wonderful? Lyrical? Did I mention that the music was "singable" (people left the theatre singing)? Sometimes, we need a little sparkle without the glitz. If I could get away directing this musical with Palestinians and Israelis -- and still make it work (because it would), I would choose this one to direct in any university in America. The London production was that good. The music is that good. The book is that good.

Take back the fangs and listen to the music. Be innocent again, and listen to a simple musical with straightforward motives. I hear that it will never come to the US. Unfortunate. It is surely needed.

If you like musical theatre, buy the CD. If you are inspired when soccer players defy gravity, then imagine such deftness of foot in a musical and buy the CD. If you are curious about England and Ireland, buy the CD. If you want to be conscientious about world events aesthetically recreated, but still want to enjoy something soooo beautiful in its intent and execution, buy the CD. It is worth every cent.

I found it...the worst musical written.......2002-09-21

I truly believe that this is the worst musical ever put on CD. Though I am certain that there are worse shows, this one is hereby nominated as the most truly ugly, vulgar and truly unlikeable on record. RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!
