Instrumentals: 
The ventures’ APACHE

I don’t remember the song that well, except for the ending riff. 
The guy on the left resembles Jesse Braintree – long lost cousin maybe? 
  
And then another version of Apache: 

Jorgen Ingmann - Apache - Original - 1961

Hmm it’s got a history .  It gets interesting.
From the you tube site:  “In addition to Deming's biography: The US success of Jörgen Ingmann's version of Jerry Lordan's instrumental "Apache" (which hit no 1 in US Singles' list in 1961) was largely due to EMI's omission to publish The Shadows' original 1960 version in time for USA. The cover version of the Dane became first and The Shadows' hit could not pace.  IMHO....THE SHADOWS VERSION OF APACHE WAS TRASHED BECAUSE IT COULD NOT COMPETE WITH JORGEN'S” 

This may have been written by a Danish person  IMHO 
  
The Shadows’ Apache:

Immediately sounds familiar unlike the other versions. 

Judge it for yourself honey

P. S,. Haven't checked out Jerry Lordan yet.  Was he in The Ventures?
