The Ventures did record Pipeline but it wasn’t theirs originally.
The Chantay’s - Pipeline (Lawrence Welk Show 5/18/63)

Thanks for that bit of music history.
First, the idea of a rock band on Welk’s show is a laugh! What the heck must Larry Hooper and Joe Feeney be thinking!
And that the band is not corded to their amps. Way ahead of their time obviously!
Thanks for sharing this link!!
