Liars!
When I bought this cd at Amazon, I didn't know that the Ventures weren't actually telling you not to run. That is just the name of a song they play. I physically stopped running for 3 months after I bought this cd because I didn't want to offend the Ventures. You'd be surprised of all the changes I had to make in my life just from not running! I had to accept being late to work all the time. I gained an extra 2lbs of fatty tissue. I started wearing adult diapers (I eat a lot of Exlax so running is often a neccessity. It was a practical joke that backfired. How was I supposed to know it would taste so good? Any way, another story), etc. Looking back, the misunderstanding was kind of funny. I learned a lot about myself. I still wear the diapers too. Its relaxing not having to run.

The Soundtrack of the 1960's in the OC
I don't know how well it translated to the rest of the country, but if you grew up like I did near the beaches of Southern California in the early 60's you probably owned (or like me had a sibling that owned) "The Ventures Knock Me Out!" Along with other great instrumentalist like the Surfaries, The Ventures made a valuable addition to the Surf Music of The Beach Boys, and Jan and Dean etc. that made up a lot of the soundtrack of my childhood.

So here's the deal...

This is really good background music for a road trip, or reliving some great memories.
Long live the "Endless Summer!"

Surfs up!
The CD is cool. Its worth the money and the songs sound great. The problem is that after about ten songs, it sounds like your hearing the same thing over and over again. Its one of the risks you take when you don't have lyrics in any of the songs. These guys are legends and it is amazing how they crafted all this great music. I recommend you hit the shuffle button in you car and mix this in with other CDs.

The best collection for the best price
This is the Ventures collection I've been waiting for. And the price is right.

Walk -- Don't Run: The Best of the Ventures
This one has quickly become one of my favorites! If you're considering a Ventures CD, and don't have one in your collection, this one is a must have. If you have other ventures varieties, check the label 1st because, of course, there is some duplication, but this one gives a nice rendition of their "earlier 1960's years" popularity.
