Pony Canyon will be releasing a new 27-track CD in late June or early July to coincide with this year’s Japan tour. The CD title is “Hits and New” as it is a compilation of 22 hit songs – both classic Ventures songs and Japanese hits – along with 5 newly recorded tracks by this year’s line-up, several of them written by The Ventures’ members.

We will be offering the CD for sale through our on-line store at our regular $30 price for import CDs (or possibly slightly less depending on the exchange rate when we purchase the CDs).
