As many fans already know, this year is being billed as Don Wilson’s last Japan tour. In conjunction with the tour, Universal Japan is planning to release a number of CDs as part of a retrospective on The Ventures’ career in Japan. The first 5 CDs will be released at the end of May 2015, and are a compilation of all (or almost all) the singles put out over the years. The last time these were available was over 20 years ago.
