I had been looking for one particular instrumental for many years and was unable to remember what it was called until I got on Amazon and was able to listen to clips of songs on this CD. I was so excited to had finally found it on this CD. This entire CD has so many great tunes that have been long lost over the years. I play it every single day, guess I should have bought 2. But all kidding aside if you enjoyed the great instrumentals back in the 60's and your not sure if you really remember them, go to this site to hear bits of each song and I am sure it will bring back many memories. It has for me!
Great representative selections from the golden years of instrumental rock led by the Ventures and surf bands. This stuff was so cool that a number of TV shows and movies have used music from this era. I had the cassette version several years ago and the CD has additional tracks. Highly recommended.
Some of these songs are easily available elsewhere,such as "Because They're Young",
"Telstar", and, of course, "Walk, Don't Run".
But most of the rest are rarely available and not often played.
Besides, they are Great Hits in their own right.
So . . . buy it, you'll like it! (To paraphrase a '60s commercial).
