Product Description
Ace Records #CDCHD1407 – This is the fifth compilation by the UK company, again from previously unreleased or rare tracks dating back to the very early days of The Ventures. The package is presented in a flat plastic envelope but can be put into a jewel case as it has both the back insert and the front cover/booklet – it is a great 20-page booklet with tons of background information, history, photos and links, written by Dave Burke and Alan Taylor of Pipeline Magazine in the UK – which, by the way, is worth subscribing to.
