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

Great value and chair!
Color: Fabric-grey, Size: Luxurious(With Wheels)
Great chair and value! I got this to use with my work desk. It’s not super padded and I don’t know how long it will last, but it’s comfortable and the height is adjustable. It feels solid and my teenager was able to put it together with the instructions. It looks nicer with my desk than I thought it would. The fact I can sit “cross cross apple sauce” was the most important feature!

Comfortable, Stylish, and So Easy to Assemble!
Color: Leather-beige, Size: Luxurious(With Wheels)
I recently purchased this chair and honestly, I’m very impressed! It took me longer to unpack everything than it did to actually assemble it. The setup was quick, simple, and the video instructions on YouTube made it even easier. The chair is super comfortable, rolls smoothly, and fits perfectly underneath my vanity without taking up too much space. I know it’s marketed as a “cross-legged” chair for younger users, but at 57 years old, sitting cross-legged isn’t exactly happening for me anymore 😂 — and I still absolutely love it. It’s stylish, comfortable, sturdy, and perfect for everyday use. I would definitely buy this chair again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cute and functional vanity or office chair!
