    • Bobby Vee Meets the Ventures is a 1963 cross-over rock and roll album that brings Bobby Vee, a singer, together with the Ventures, an instrumental quartet. Two tracks are instrumentals performed by the Ventures alone. Bobby Vee Meets the Ventures was promoted by touring along with the 1962 album Bobby Vee Meets the Crickets.
    The album made its first appearance on Billboard Top LPs chart on June 1, 1963, and remained on the album chart for eight weeks, peaking at number 91. No. 37 on the Cashbox albums chart.
    The album was released on compact disc for the first time by Beat Goes On on September 16, 1998, as tracks 13 through 24 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 1 through 12 consisting of Vee's 9th studio album from February 1963, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes. It was also released as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on October 17, 2000, paired with Vee's 1967 album Come Back When You Grow Up.


    Reception


    Bruce Eder of AllMusic called it Bobby Vee's "hardest-rocking album ever", and stated that the album is "one great showcase for Vee's vocalizing and the playing of Nokie Edwards et al". Billboard called it "one of the hottest in the teen album dance field". The album was referred to as a "Rocking Cha Cha Beat" by Disc, and Cashbox said "the distinctive vocal delivery blends smoothly with the instrumental stylings of the Ventures".
    The Liverpool Echo wrote that "[Vee] seems to have lost a little of his early vocal potency and the Ventures tend to bang and bash too heavily for comfort".
