Eric Winstone • Plays 007
Playing piano in his spare time from a job as Westminster Gas and Coke Company led him to form his first band in 1935.[citation needed] He learned the accordion, started an accordion school and formed an accordion quintet, a swing quintet, and a big band orchestra.
During World War II his orchestra entertained the forces, and performed at holiday camps after the war. In 1955 a CinemaScope short of The Eric Winstone Bandshow was made.

The Ventures • Batman Theme
Review by Kurt Edwards
The Ventures Play the "Batman" Theme looks like a crass record company attempt to cash in on the hits of the moment, then knocks you flat like a bottle of Thunderbird in a plain brown paper bag. A sure sign of a great Ventures record is an inordinate amount of original compositions, and The Ventures Play the "Batman" Theme has eight, with every one of them a winner. "Zocko," "Joker's Wild," and "Vampcamp" are classic Ventures stompers, with near-raunchy guitar lines, stops, starts, and fabulous drumming by Mel Taylor. Television spy themes were tailor-made for the Ventures' sound, and their versions nearly outshine the originals. The production is in full The Ventures in Space mode: maniacal laughs appear and disappear, eerie sounds and strange noises abound, and the songs are tightly arranged. At their creative peak, the Ventures could take the hokiest of concepts and make them interesting, as this album bears witness.

The Ventures Play el tema "Batman" parece un intento de una compañía discográfica para sacar provecho de los éxitos del momento, y luego te golpea como una botella de Thunderbird en una bolsa de papel marrón. Un signo seguro de un gran disco de Ventures es una cantidad desmedida de composiciones originales, y The Ventures Play the Batman "Theme tiene ocho, y cada una de ellas es una ganadora. "Zocko", "Joker's Wild" y "Vampcamp" son pisotones clásicos de Ventures, con líneas de guitarras casi alocadas, paradas, arranques y fabulosos tambores de Mel Taylor. Los temas de televisión espía fueron hechos a la medida para el sonido de los Ventures, y sus versiones casi brillan más que los originales. La producción está en el modo completo de The Ventures in Space: las risas maníacas aparecen y desaparecen, abundan los sonidos espeluznantes y los ruidos extraños, y las canciones están muy bien organizadas. En su pico creativo, los Ventures podrían tomar los conceptos más horribles y hacerlos interesantes, como lo demuestra este álbum.
