Yeah, I think that's what happened, Brian. The Japanese audience was too polite
and with the Beatles and Beach Boys setting the norm with screaming audiences,
the label was compelled to sweeten the Ventures live album with additional
applause. Some say the "On Stage Around the World" is totally fake. But their
aren't any overdubs and it sounds purdy much like they did on the true Japanese
live albums of the day. Another possibility is that the Ventures went into a
studio and recorded one of their rehearsals for a Japan tour and then slapped on
the applause.

I did a quick Google search, and not much came up on The Ventures On
Stage being a fake...except for this page:
Here they are talking primarily about a "live" Stones record (Got Live
If You Want It) which wasn't really live.
If you scroll down the page, a user named "mikey5967" makes the
following comments:
"As bad as GLIYWI is, try The Ventures On Stage, Around The World".
They overdubbed the SAME applause after every track!! The same guy
whistles in the same place!!! Every Track!!
On top of that, the overdubbed Don Wilsons voice in the studio (clear as
a bell) announcing "Heres One We Did on a Single Record.....Slaughter On
10th Avenue". Its so clear, its funny.
The really wierd thing is that these are truly live recordings, made in
Japan. he Japanese audiences were so polite that Liberty felt they HAD
to overdub crown noise to kmake the concert seem real.
As always, The Ventures playing is just GREAT, tho."
Perhaps these "live albums" were a reaction to the success the Beatles
had with theirs...? I can't be sure because I don't have the dates in
front of me. The Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl is what I am
thinking of....as I recall, that album had more screaming girls than
music on it.
