The Ventures Play The Carpenters + The Jim Croce Songbook (1974)
Play The Carpenters + The Jim Croce Songbook\n1994 See For Miles Records Ltd.\n\nSee For Miles Compilation Originally Released 1994\nOne Way Records Compilation Orginally Released May 26, 1998\nThe Ventures Play the Carpenters : Released July 1974\nThe Jim Croce Songbook : Released 1974\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: See for Miles reissued two albums the Ventures released in the mid-'70s, Play the Carpenters and The Jim Croce Songbook, on a single disc in 1995. Both of the records find the Ventures turning in mellow, easy listening soft rock albums. The Ventures' instrumentation is a little too spare to make these records sound as lush as they should, but both -- and Play the Carpenters in particular -- are surprisingly enjoyable, and may be of interest to hardcore Ventures fans, even if they are a slight departure from their style. [In 1997, One Way Records reissued the same two albums with two additional bonus tracks -- "El Greco" and "Love Is Blue (L'Amour Est Bleu)."] -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nDon't tug on Superman's cape., August 20, 2006 \nBy Johnny Heering "trivia buff" (Bethel, CT United States)\nThis CD features two albums released by the Ventures in 1974. One features songs popularized by the Carpenters. The other features songs written by the late Jim Croce. The songs are performed in a tasteful, instrumental style. A guitar replaces the singing parts on the original versions. This is definitely not the Ventures at their most rocking, but if you like the mellow side of the Ventures, you should enjoy it. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThe best new release from The Ventures in years!, August 24, 1998 \nBy A Customer\nThis CD is a real jewel. It's been years since the Ventures have put together anything close to the quality that made them famous. The tasteful arrangements and orchastration rings of the days of Walk Don't Run, Perfidia, Etc. It's great to have them return to pure guitar playing. You can almost hear the words from these haunting melodies. \n\n\nHalf.com N/A
