Walk, Don't Run: Sundazed Preps Stereo Remasters of Ventures Albums

February 6, 2012 By Mike Duquette 5 Comments

The Band That Launched a Thousand Bands is now The Band That Launched Five New Reissues.

Influential surf-rockers The Ventures will see the release of five classic albums for Dolton Records re-released in their original stereo mix from Sundazed Records. The albums - The Ventures Play Telstar and The Lonely Bull (1962), "Surfing" (1963) and 1964's (The) Ventures in Space, The Fabulous Ventures and Walk, Don't Run Vol. 2 - will all be released on limited edition colored vinyl (yellow, blue, silver, red and green for each respective album) and compact disc.

All five albums were solid if standard rock efforts, all charting on Billboard's Top 40. (The Ventures Play Telstar and The Lonely Bull actually remains their highest-charting album at No. 8 in addition to their second gold album after 1960's Walk, Don't Run.) There weren't very many singles taken from these LPs, but "Walk, Don't Run '64" was, unsurprisingly, a Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 8 - just six spots underneath the original.

All titles will be released on February 28. Sundazed has them here, and the track lists are after the jump.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Damn, can't believe that Sundazed were unable to get the rights for the original "Walk, Don't Run". 🙁 The '64 version is good, but my favorite is the original.

    I wish I had known that One Way issued dozens of Ventures albums on 2-for-1 CDs in the mid-90s. These Sundazed reissues are pricey.

      @Galley - those 2 for 1 CD issues are remixed versions and sound like crap. It's actually hard to find original mixes on CD. Until now that is! Thanks Sundazed

        I ended up buying all of the Sundazed reissues. The sound quality is top-notch!
