Overdubbing

It seems that The Ventures never really got into overdubbing.
Instead they would usually employ session musicians (makes sense
regarding keyboard players eg. Leon Russell... as none of them
could play that instrument). I can only think of one album off
the top of my head : Hollywood Dynamic in which Bob Bogle triple
dubbed his guitar. Can anyone think of any more? Interesting
comparison to The Shadows who were very much into overdubbing
guitar parts. The Ventures had the same technology to do this -
I'm surprised that Nokie never (?) overdubbed an extra guitar
part or Mel overdubbed castanets, tambourine, etc.

I can heer castinettes in Journey 2 the Stars.
There are many instances of lead geetar overdubbing. Sunny
River Twist, Counterpoint and Scratch are early-on examples of
harmon E parts.

Also - Happy Together, notable for a counter melody by Nokie on
the overdubbed lead.
Andy: lets not perpetuate the UF2 discussions here, particularly
the errors - Nokie played lead on Out of Limits. I dont know
where this BS about Saraceno playing lead on that track
originated from.

My sentiments exactly Kanad 'bout repeating anything
'over there' on 'that topic.' To read that 'bout OUT OF
LIMITS was pathetic- you'd think the playin' was rather
obvious' to ALL!

From what I've read the band was under pressure to crank out
albums fast in the early-mid 60's. From an efficiency standpoint
it made more sense to have a utility session guitarist (or two)
on hand to play a long on the take rather then going back and
overdubbing. I don't think that was the case in every instance
though; it's obvious to the ear that Nokie did some overdubbing
and Gerry did played multiple parts on their later albums.
