US premier guitar instrumental group The Ventures had their highest placed LP with this collection of contemporary pop covers that added nothing to the originals. (US:8)
"This group was integral to music in the sixties, with many artists directly affected by their music."
"Features a very aggressive version of Green Onions, a faithful rendition of Herb Alpert's The Lonely Bull and the amazing title track with its Star Trek like electric organ."
"Good music, good musicians, good times, good album."
"The Ventures bring back many memories listening to the great sounds all over again."
"Like many of their LPs, it demonstrates their versatility on faithful covers of a number of contemporary hits, ranging from rock to soul to easy listening." “My favourite one among The Ventures numbers is Tequila. Nobody can miss enjoying this music ever."
“Nice version of Telstar, but without the keys it sounds hollow."
"A top ten album for the group in early 1963, it really doesn't hold up today. In every case, you're better off with the original versions."
“Apache is nowhere near as good as The Shadows version."
