The Ventures - The Ventures
Review by Sandy Connolly
The Ventures' self-titled album, released in 1961, is a classic example of surf rock at its best. The band's signature sound of electric guitar, bass, and drums is showcased in full force on this record, which features a mix of original compositions and covers of popular hits.
From the opening track, "Morgen," the listener is transported to the beaches of California, with the twangy guitar riffs and driving beat evoking the sound of crashing waves. The Ventures' cover of the Champs' "Tequila" is another standout, with the band's tight musicianship and infectious energy making it impossible not to dance along.
The album's original compositions, such as "Perfidia" and "Lullaby of the Leaves," showcase the band's versatility and creativity, with each member contributing their own unique style to the mix. The Ventures' ability to blend different genres, from rock to jazz to Latin, is what sets them apart from other surf rock bands of the era.

Comments
I have this album still in my collection in the dungeon. My parents bought it for me I was five years old on 1967. Great stuff.
Thank you, RIP
This is better than the Surfaris' version

Batman owes its success to the fortunate series of cinema and comics that have won so much the heart and the imagination of youth throughout the world. Special musical version of THE VENTURES.

"Batman" was the hottest TV show of 1966, and there were several recordings of the theme song that year
While Neil Hefti's original version was a hit record, this cover version was a good one.
