Both tracks are from the group's album "The Colorful Ventures" (US Album #94) released on Oct. 2, 1961. As for the style, these two do not sound very typical tracks of the Ventures. Maybe it's the orchestra ... and Duane Eddy influences on the A-side.
By this time the Ventures were completing the transition where Edwards and Bogle switched places in lead guitar and bass. The album liner notes still credit Edwards for both lead and bass guitars. The A-side has definitely Nokie picking the lead. Not 100% sure of the flip.
List price: Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20
