Spent the day running errands, but managed to squirrel a little time at the charity shop browsing the records. Almost walked out with a Gaby Haas and the Chuck wagon Gang as it has local caché, but passed as I don't really enjoy accordion music.

Did pick up this classic though. Mono 1962 release of The Ventures play Telstar, The Lonely Bull. It needs a bit of a clean so it'll be a while before I play it, so queuing it up on the web will have to do for now.

"Walk, Don't Run" is an instrumental composition written and originally recorded by #jazz guitarist #JohnnySmith in 1954, which achieved worldwide fame when #TheVentures recorded a #coverVersion in 1960. It was adapted and re-recorded by #ChetAtkins in 1956, and was a track on the LP Hi-Fi In Focus. This #arrangement was the inspiration for the version by The Ventures in 1960 (though the Ventures' arrangement is recognizably different from Atkins' #fingerpickedStyle).
