Pony Canyon is releasing a double CD in conjunction with the summer tour this year. Release date is June 20, 2018. Our price is $35 (Japanese retail 3500 yen).

Disc 1 features 14 all-new recordings, played by the current group members: Leon, Bob, Ian and Luke. A number of the tracks are new original songs written by group members.

Disc 2 is a compilation of 22 tracks, classic Ventures’ hits, on which the players are Don Wilson, Bob Bogle, Gerry McGee, Leon Taylor, Bob Spalding and special guest, Nokie Edwards.

I will be in Japan in late August and early September so, if anyone wishes to order a copy, please let me know so I can bring it back with me. I will, of course, try to get the copies signed by the group members, as I did last year.
