💎 Overview / Présentation
🇬🇧
Originally released in 1964, *Knock Me Out!* marks one of The Ventures’ most explosive albums of the early surf-rock boom. This **1st Taiwan Press** is an exceptionally rare regional edition, produced during a period when rock LPs were imported or locally repressed in very small batches due to strict cultural controls and limited distribution networks.
The album captures The Ventures at peak creativity, blending driving rhythm guitars, crisp Fender leads, and sophisticated arrangements that pushed instrumental rock forward, influencing players across Japan, Southeast Asia, and the West Coast alike.
Taiwanese 60s pressings are now highly sought after for their scarcity, delicate sleeve construction, and unique sound characteristics. Finding a **1964 copy in EX/EX condition** is extraordinary, as most surviving examples show heavy wear, humidity damage, or laminated peeling.
🇫🇷
Sorti en 1964, *Knock Me Out!* représente l’un des albums les plus percutants des Ventures durant l’âge d’or du surf-rock. Ce **1er pressage taïwanais** est une édition régionale extrêmement rare, produite à une époque où les LP rock étaient importés ou pressés localement en très petites quantités en raison des restrictions culturelles et de réseaux de distribution très limités.
L’album montre The Ventures au sommet de leur créativité : guitares rythmiques nerveuses, leads Fender précis, arrangements travaillés — une formule qui a marqué la scène instrumentale mondiale, du Japon à la côte Ouest américaine.
Les pressages taïwanais des années 60 sont aujourd’hui très collectionnés pour leur rareté, leurs pochettes fragiles et leur caractère sonore unique. Trouver un exemplaire de **1964 en EX/EX** est exceptionnel, la plupart ayant souffert du climat humide et du vieillissement.
🔥 Collector’s Notes
• Ultra-rare 1st Taiwan Press (1964)
