Description

New Testament is a distinctive early-1970s album from The Ventures, marking a shift from their classic surf-instrumental sound toward more contemporary rock and pop material. Notably, this release includes vocals, a departure from the band’s best-known instrumental hits, making it an interesting and collectible entry in their extensive catalogue.

The album features covers of popular songs such as “Whole Lotta Love,” “What Is Life,” “Wild World,” “She’s a Lady,” and “Good Mornin’ Captain,” alongside original material. With polished arrangements and the Ventures’ signature musicianship, New Testament captures a transitional moment in the band’s long career.

A great pick for collectors of 1970s rock, Liberty Records pressings, or Ventures completists.
