UK collection of rarities from the Pop/Rock instrumental combo. Ventures fans and instrumental fans in general will be happy to hear Volume 5 contains two rare and 24 previously unreleased tracks. The album has been compiled with the band's help and all tracks are licensed from The Ventures. Of particular interest are the three tracks at the end of the CD. The case is not often, if ever, made for the band as significant forerunners to the psychedelic and heavy rock sounds of the late 60s and early 70s, but take a listen to how grungy and weighty 'Fuzz Factor', 'Sauerkraut' and 'Wipe Out' are.
