Title: Cream of the Crop
Product review: This is as good as you get with the Ventures on CD. Take two of their strongest albums, put them on one CD, and make it available for less than $10. Anyone with even a remote interest in the Ventures or sixties guitar instrumentals will find this album a must. For music that is pushing the half century mark, the albums are still suprisingly accessible - my six year old daughter has been humming along with "Telstar" for weeks. As a consumer spoiled by more recent reissues (this CD release goes back to 1992), the liner notes and track information leave a lot to be desired, and at 52 minutes you would love to have some alternate takes or single only releases included to fill out the CD, but for the price the album is a great value. Now if they would only do this with the rest of the Ventures catalog......
