I guess the deal has ended around mid 1968, so that may be the date when the Ventures logo disappeared from the headstocks. On „The Horse“ (released: August 24, 1968) the band poses with Mosrite guitars on the cover. Mathematical, a 1963 5-year contract should last until 1968. ![]() So the deal may have ended in middle to late 1967.ĭel Halterman tells on page 162 of „Walk-Don’t Run – The Story of the Ventures“: „While Flights of Fantasy climbed to 169 in Billboard, The Ventures‘ five-year contract with Mosrite expired.“ Flights of Fantasy was released on May 25, 1968. The next record, $1,000,000 Weekend, released December 23, 1967, is not promoting Mosrite anymore but Award Amplifiers. The last Ventures record promoting Mosrite guitars is Super Psychedelics, released June 3, 1967. Some sources say that’s happened in 1967, some say late 1968. The Ventures logo has not been used by Mosrite anymore after the distribution deal with the Ventures has ended.
