Das Kapitel 34 (Seiten 442 - 456) in dem Buch "Liberty Records - A History of the Recording Company, Its Stars, 1955 - 1971" von Michael "Doc Rock" Kelly aus dem Jahr 2014 geht auf die Geschichte der Ventures
und ihren Aufnahmen dezidiert ein.
"Bob Bogle told the history of the group in a telephone interview from California in October 1983
and backstage at a Ventures performance in Parson, Kansas on November 12th, 1983". (Seite 442)
Johnny Smith der Komponist von "WDR" war ein Jazz Gitarist und guter Freund von Chet Atkins.
Chet nahm WDR für eine seiner LPs (Hi-Fi In Focus) in den 50igern auf.
Als Bob das Gitarre Spielen lernte, war der Song auf seiner Lieblings LP von Chet . "Lullabye of the Leaves"
die dritte Single der Ventures, befand sich auch auf der LP.
Doc Rock: "I have heard two "Birth Of The Ventures" stories. One is that "Walk Don´t Run" was a
home made recording., another that it was recorded professonally in a studio. Which in true?".
Bob Bogle: " Well, they are both almost right! We went in with a homerecording to the president
of Dolton Records, who was Bob Reissdorff. He was based in Seattle, he had the Fleedwoods already.
They were very famous, very popular, they had already had a couple of big, big hits.
He listened to our material on our home recording.
He said that `I don´t think you have what I need here`."
Doc Rock: "You´re kidding?"
Bob Bogle: " No, true! We went in a studio by ourselves, just Don and me, and we had Nokie Edwards
on bass and went in and rerecorded "Walk Don´t Run". It was a professional studio, but in those
days it was a guy´s basement, a two-track Ampex reel-to-reel, that type of equipment."
Doc Rock: " Only one microphone, probably?"
Bob Bogle: " Yes, that was about the best you could do in those days, especially in that area of country.
We recorded it, then we had three hundred copies made at our own expense."
Dod Rock: " Now these original pressings must be pretty rare collector items!"
Bob Bogle: " We hand-carried those records around to radio stations in the local area.
The DJ´s liked it, and they started playing it on their shows. Soon Bob Reissdorff heard it
on the radio, and right away he called us."

Soviel ausschnittsweise Aussagen auf Seite 443. In der Art und Weise geht es weiter mit unzähligen
"Enthüllungen" und Details zu den Aufnahmen ihrer langen karriere.
Bemerkenswert finde ich Bob´s Aussage, dass sie keine Titel für die Aufnahmen hatten,
die sie aufgenommen haben. Sie fragten die Sekretärinnen bei Liberty Records nach Vorschlägen,
und wenn ihnen einer gefiel und der Titel zum Song passte, nahmen sie ihn.
