If you want to hear the original m"Walk-Don't Run " from 1959 (pre-1960) w/ John Babbett on the drums...check out my upload from last week.

This version is good, but a bit harsh on the ol' ear holes...Thanks for the upload!

Through the magic of the internet I listened today to John Barry on Desert Island Discs (BBC Radio 4, June 1999). I was disappointed to hear from Barry that he hated the John Barry Seven and all that is stood for. He only did it as a stepping stone to better things. Thanks a lot John. I know the people like me who bought your records and admired you were only punters, but you could have kept your thoughts to yourself.

Sorry but the Ventures version is better. The lead guitar on this version is dreadful & sounds dead! Also the rhythm is slightly out of tune. As a Brit I would like to say they were better than the Ventures but unfortunately not.

[TheRealCritique]

good beat, but the guitar sounds like its playing through a dying amp

[MrOldbrummie1]

great record first tune i learnt on the guitar

[phlipnet]

The better version, I think.

[davidnettleton]

@phlipnet  - I agree. Barry gets the tempo just right. I actually bought this record in 1960 - which I'd kept it!

[SuperLordjohn]

I bought this version because I hadn't heard the Ventures doing it, I've always liked this band, Vic Flick is a great guitar player.
