Martin Denny - Forbidden Island (LP - Dark Lava Vinyl)

With Forbidden Island, released in 1958, Martin Denny expanded the sonic world he created on Exotica into darker, more mysterious waters. Recorded after Arthur Lyman departed to form his own group, Denny reimagined the exotica palette with heavier percussion, haunting vibraphones, and shadowy melodies that evoke the lure — and danger — of distant shores.

Once again, the cover features Sandy Warner, the timeless “Exotica Girl,” whose face and presence embodied the visual fantasy of tiki-era escapism. Though there is debate with some saying it is a young Yvonne Craig (pre-batman). Her image (either Sandy or Yvonne), paired with Denny’s immersive arrangements, made Forbidden Island both a hi-fi adventure and a cultural statement.

Part travelogue, part daydream, the album blends Polynesian, Asian, and Latin textures into a lush cocktail of sound. More than sixty years later, Forbidden Island remains one of Denny’s most evocative works — a perfect vinyl escape for collectors, tiki lounge enthusiasts, and anyone chasing the glow of a mid-century paradise.

Original Release Date: 1958

For fans of: Ixtahuele, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, Robert Drasnin, Exotica

98% cotton comfort
Color: Black, Size: Large
It's true to size. I have a 42" chest and typically wear a large. I ordered large and it fits. Grab these while you can as most of these mock neck t shirts are a cotton poly blend. These are 98% cotton. This is important because although the cotton/poly blends dry quicker, they are uncomfortably warm if it gets above 70 F. I have purchased other mock turtlenecks and had my local dry cleaners convert them from long sleeves to short, but they are slightly heavier weight than these. I do wish that they made these in a dark green or military green color.

100% SYNTHETIC CONSTRUCTION!!!
Color: All White, Size: XX-Large, Color: All White, Size: XX-Large
When I bought this shirt, the listing claimed it was 95% cotton and 5% spandex... the shirt that arrived was 51% polyester, 43% viscose and 6% spandex! I have been impressed by some of their other clothing, but this is the first time I was completely lied to and bamboozled. I probably wouldn't have noticed if the shirt wasn't so hot, shiny, and uncomfortable! I will absolutely be returning this shirt. Not even CLOSE to what I wanted. Quite, quite disappointed.
