Exotica Vol lll - 1959 Martin Denny (Capitol Record Reissue)

MARTIN DENNY
EXOTICA III
Exotica Vol. III was recorded entirely on a Sunday, starting in the morning and recording late into the evening - it was the only day the auditorium was available. We ran into several problems along the way, including the unwanted twittering of birds and even some guy revving up
his motorcycle nearby. In fact, the recording of Exotica III was so problematic that we actually
had to re-record the entire album, as we were not pleased with the first version.
Although Exotica Vol. III was recorded first, Liberty Records decided to release the next album
we recorded, Quiet Village, about a month ahead of it to capitalize on the single of “Quiet Village” which was beginning to break.
