This CD set contains the early albums of the Ventures. It is not a hits collection set, but there are a reasonable number of their hits among these albums. The audio quality is extremely good. All of the albums are in stereo, but the additional singles tracks are monophonic.A few of their early tracks have vocal accompaniment and, on one track, the vocals take the lead rather than the guitars. On The Real McCoy", the name of a television series from the late fifties, they do a reasonable job of imitating the voice of Grampa McCoy - Walter Brennan.This is a great set to accompany the three CD set of The Ventures hits, " Walk Don't Run ." There are several Ventures collections with the same name. The one linked to was produced by Castle Music UK and contains 63 tracks on three CDs.There are very good reasons why the Ventures charted so many hits and are still going. Highly recommended to those who already like the Ventures or great Rock 'n Roll instrumentals.

First track on disk 1 had skips but all the rest were fine. Else I'd give the collection five stars. Great deal for Ventures fans. Sound is very good, better than many imports. Includes several single tracks.

Excellent over 100 tracks of The Ventures super cool sound

I don't agree with the commenter that complained about how these recordings were mixed for CD. I own a few of the LPs that are collected here and my opinion is that these are as I remember them from vinyl, albeit without the cracks and pops. A great sounding collection at an unbeatable price.

Lots of music for the price, but most of the songs sound similar. A few great classics here and there, but overall just OK. Get their greatest hits and trim all the fat.

The Ventures were a big influence on me in my early years of playing guitar. You won't find this much Ventures music anywhere else for the price. $2.50 per album! The CD's even look like 45's, complete with grooves and labels. Looking back, the guitar playing was not perfect, but at the time, the style was great, and I'm sure many other players got a great start learning these tunes. Great deal!

Great sound and warmth of vinyl. Really surprised me.

Calidad perfecta

Good remastering essential listening

EXCELLENT ! Très bon produit à un très bon prix. Je vous recommande ce produit qui est en passant un album très complet pour tous les bons collectionneurs de musiques souvenirs des années rétro. 104 des Meilleurs succès réunis sur 4 CD, d'un des groupes pionnier dans la chanson instrumentale des années 60 qui était The Ventures. Ce coffret contient les chansons de 8 albums du groupe, ainsi que plusieurs singles et quelques chansons vocales interprétées par quelques membres du groupe. Un coffret à ne pas manquer.

Per chi ama la musica strumentale è un eccellente prodotto. Ottime registrazioni. Prezzo buono. Confezione eccellente. Consigliatissimo. In un piccolo cofanetto vengono raccolti parecchi albums tutti di ottima fattura.

Erstklassige und superpreiswerte Zusammenstellung von Aufnahmen der Gruppe, die teils lange nicht mehr greifbar waren.Die Ausstattung ist zwar spartanisch (keine Covers der Originalalben, kein erklärendes Booklet), aber die sehr sorgfältig digital auffrisierte Tonqualität ist Kaviar fürs Trommelfell.
