"These songs have been re-done



These are NOT the original hit versions



Listen to Walk Don't Run on this album; then listen to it on the original album. Totally different. Original version sounds like the early 60's, twangy, more guitar, etc



Not so say all songs are bad on this album, but LISTEN TO THESE FIRST on amazon where they give you samples, AND UNDERSTAND THEY ARE RE-DONE MANY YEARS LATER



Be careful of GREATEST HITS albums too. Some albums have original, others do not. The one I would recommend is called "walk don't run," available on amazon at: ASIN: B00000DRAT



If you are new to the ventures music, start with ALL OF THE ORIGINAL RELEASES IN EARLY IN THEIR CAREER, with original members like Nokie Edwards.



If the album is on the CAPITAL record label, or LIBERTY, you are ok.



Later the boys formed their own label, and did not have rights to their older works, so they re-recorded the old stuff so that they could sell it themselves. At least that is what I heard.
