Marty,
What do you think of Nokie's playing on "Rap City"
Live in Japan '65? Everytime I hear that I crack up just thinking

nearly disco period is indeed the worst of the Ventures eras BUT it
came at a time when they were not under their "grind out another"
album work ethic. It came in the mid '70's and was the lone domestic

hand, "Journey to the Stars" , "RapCity" and the other great
Ventures recordings you mention came right in the middle of
their "grind out another album" period.
