Description
There's a reason why Martin Denny remains a cultural touchstone - his records are as earthly as they are from outer space. 'Forbidden Island' was Denny's third record, recorded after a nine-month residency in Hawaii. This era finds Denny just on the cusp of being a household name, a period where his records would shortly become certified Gold. 'Forbidden Island' is a solidification of Denny being the King of the Exotica sound, where his recordings could illuminate just enough darkness across the tiki bar to let a few of us slowly dance the night away. The reissue also include the original iconic album artwork featuring model/actor Sandy Warner (which was often the gateway into these albums before we ever heard the music in these grooves).
Sourced from the master tapes. Original iconic album artwork. Comes on DARK LAVA vinyl.
