Album Review

Al Campbell [allmusic.com]

Originally issued on Dolton in 1964, The Fabulous Ventures combined six original compositions including the single ''Journey to the Stars'' and ''Walking with Pluto,'' which sound like outtakes from The Ventures in Space LP released a few months earlier. Also included are six cover versions of popular songs from the era including ''Needles and Pins,'' ''The Cruel Sea,'' ''Tall Cool One,'' ''Only the Young,'' ''Fugitive,'' and ''The Pink Panther Theme.'' In general the Ventures' albums have stood the test of time and hold together well, especially the ones that follow a particular theme. While the playing time on this disc is only 28 minutes in length, in the case of many Ventures' albums, less is more.
