Title:	Exotica
Label:	CHERRY RED (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	CRREV 101CD

"As part of our ongoing series of reappraised, remastered and intensified releases of music from the 1950s and before, here we hit the daddy of them all, Martin Denny, with his first two groundbreaking, international hit albums -- both in their original mono as well as their Spectrasonic Stereo Sound versions, in which the band went back into the studio to revisit their two hit albums two years later to satisfy the then brand new market for spectacular stereo. Featuring the hit anthem of 'Exotica,' 'Quiet Village' and a whole load of other wonderful tracks to chill out to, pour the cocktails and dim the lights... for Martin Denny!" There's no track listing to indicate it, but the CDs features the complete album twice, first in mono, then stereo.

Title:	Exotica Vol. 2
Label:	CHERRY RED (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	CRREV 102CD

2005 reissue, in both mono and stereo. The 2nd Martin Denny album, originally issued by Liberty in 1957. "Herein Mr. Denny's imagination has gone even further afield, and with superb Spectra-Sound giving us matchless fidelity, he has further explored the myriad tinkle of instruments foreign to our civilization, plus fresh approaches on those familiar to our ears. Never have you heard such wonderful percussive expressions of such reedy, totally uninhibited notes from a saxophone as you will in this album. How does he do it? Take this wonderful journey into exotic lands, and when you return, you tell us." -- original liner notes.

Title:	Baked Alaska - The Cool Sounds of Martin Denny
Label:	COLLECTOR'S CHOICE MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	CCM 393

"Artists send us recordings all the time for reissue on our label, but most of the time either the artist or the album is too obscure even for us. But when a CD from Martin Denny, the exotica king himself, made its way to our office, we sat up and took notice. And then we fell in love -- for this recording, made of a September, 1964 concert given at the Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska (hence the Baked Alaska title), represents Martin's only live recording and an utterly charming one at that. Jazzy, exotic (how did they pull off those bird calls live, anyway?) and imbued with a very warm Hawaiian vibe in the oldest of places, this is not just a piece of history but a great listen as well. It's got a few rough spots as live recordings sometimes do, but even that struck us as appealing, in line with the homespun graphics and notes that Martin himself supplied. Martin's still going strong at age 92, by the way...here's a priceless glimpse of the man performing with his band in his prime."
