Martin Denny - Forbidden Island - VINYL LP

About this product
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. These reissues 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).

Martin Denny's Debut #1 Album Originally Released in 1957. Original MONO recording preferred by MARTIN DENNY and featuring ARTHUR LYMAN & Augie Colon. Exotica spawned an entire genre and the birth of the TIKI/COCKTAIL movement starts here. First Time Reissued on Jackpot Records.
Motörhead 1979 Box Set - 1979 was MOTÖRHEAD year - the year of 'Overkill' and 'Bomber'. MOTÖRHEAD, the loudest band in the world, with the power and force of a hundred pneumatic drills they destroyed the nation over and again and no-one, repeat no-one, remained unaffected by them - everyone was torn limb from limb. The albums 'Overkill' and 'Bomber' were ten times more powerful than their first album 'Motörhead', which was a killer in itself. The production was in the capable and experienced hands of one Jimmy Miller, whose previous successes had been with the likes of the Rolling Stones. He brought out the very best in the boys and the total effect was lethal. 'Overkill' and 'Bomber' are real skullcrackers, brain damaging to the nth degree and with the hit singles 'Overkill', 'No Class' and 'Bomber' you can doubtless guess the destroying effect of the whole affair. That's Motörhead, straight, basic, down to earth rock and roll, with absolutely no holds barred.
*A reissue of the sought-after 1969 Exotic Moog album from Exotica / Cocktail music pioneer Martin Denny. Great music for synth, exotica, experimental, 60s rock and psych hunters. Black vinyl pressing.
