The Colorful Ventures was a novel instrumental concept album in which every track was given its own colour code. At this stage the group were spreading their material too thinly over too many albums. (US:94)
“The Colorful Ventures LP is outstanding. When you put on the song Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White it will send chills up your spine and make the hair stand on end on your arms. Nokie Edwards shows his expertise on this one.”
“As a kid I always loved the group, but tended to buy only their singles. Now I can also enjoy the superb sounds of such classics as Bluer Than Blue from The Colourful Ventures as well. This disc has magnificent sound, and the tracks are all original." “The godfathers of modern guitar shine. And its all original. Enjoy.”
“The Colorful Ventures features songs with colours in the title. Silver City and Blue Moon were low placed chart singles from this album. Other solid covers include Blue Skies, Red Top and White Silver Sand. But the real highlight of the album is the great Ventures original Yellow Jacket.”
“It often gets credited as one of the first ever concept albums in rock and roll, but that's about as far as the inspiration goes.”
