My Music Collection #3: The Ventures Christmas Album by The Ventures

 


The Venture's Christmas Album hit the stores on November 1, 1965 in time for the Christmas shopping season. It's a collection of instrumental Christmas classics with snippets of guitar riffs blended in from their own hit songs or from other artists like the Beatles and Searchers. Throw in The Venture's distinct guitar sound makes this Christmas album special. There is a green pressing but I've got the standard black release with (presumably) the original Christmas $1.99 sale sticker on it. This was found last year at a used book sale at my local library.
