According to the liner notes, the first volume in this series collected the English EPs, while this volume collected the rarer French EPs, which were released from the early to mid-sixties. American record executives felt that the Europeans would be more willing to buy a 4 song EP of the Ventures, rather than pay for a full length LP. Thus, the European EPs became highly collectible imports in America. All the songs from this era sound great, but the real find is the song "Tarantella." It originally appeared on a very obscure French EP and is making its CD debut here. I highly recommend this collection to all fans of the Ventures. (By Mike King)
