Walk, Don't Run (The Ventures album)

Walk, Don't Run (sometimes stylized as Walk – Don't Run) is the debut studio album by American instrumental surf rock band The Ventures, released in 1960 by Dolton Records. It features cover versions of well-known songs as well as original compositions.

Much of the album was recorded following the success of the hit single of the same name. It was recorded at Joe Boles' home studio in Seattle, Washington, as was their second album, The Ventures. His was a local studio where other early Dolton artists also recorded.

Released on Liberty's Dolton subsidiary in December 1960, Walk, Don't Run became a big seller, peaking at number 11 on Billboard and earning a gold record for The Ventures (the first of three) for over 500,000 copies sold.
