"This double album portrays The Ventures about 6-7 years into their career. As always, the sound is full, professional, and features the clean and distinct sound of the combo. Excellent songs are Roadrunner, Driving Guitars, and bumblebee twist."
Come on, baby, let's twist and stomp.

"This CD features two Ventures' albums from 1962. Obviously, they were both released to cash in on the Twist fad of the time.
'Twist With the Ventures' is a very good album that features exclusively uptempo numbers. "Driving Guitars", "Road Runner", "Guitar Twist" and "Movin' and Groovin'" are particularly excellent.
'The Ventures Twist Party, Volume 2" follows the same basic formula as the other Twist album. It's another very good album. Highlights this time include "My Bonnie Lies", "Twisted", "The Twomp" and "Counterpoint".
Fans of the Ventures will enjoy this CD."
