"After the success of "V-Gold" in 1999, the Ventures recorded and released "V-Gold II" in 2000. For this recording session the Ventures expanded to a quintet: Don Wilson, Bob Bogle, Gerry McGee, Leon Taylor and special guest Nokie Edwards. Like its predecessor, it contained 20 outstanding tracks, each sounding great. It is a costly import, but a must have for devoted fans of the Ventures. Since the Ventures have such a vast songbook to pick from, they had more than enough material to release "V-Gold III" in 2001. It was recorded with the same lineup as above and contained the following songs: 1. The McCoy
2. Pedal Pusher
3. Rawhide
4. La Bamba
5. Man From U.N.C.L.E.
6. Red River Rock
7. Driving Guitars
8. A Taste Of Honey
9. Two Thousand Pound Bee, Part 2
10. Yozora No Hoshi
11. Goldfinger
12. Batman
13. El Cumbanchero
14. Let There Be Drums
15. Nutty
16. Ten Seconds To Heaven
17. Guitar Boogie Shuffle
18. Honky Tonk Women
19. Bimini Bay
20. My Love For You"
