Artist:  Martin Denny

Title:  Quiet Village

Date:  1959

Label:  Liberty Records

Cover Design:  Pate/Francis & Assoc.

Color Photography:  Ivan Nagy

Notes:  Another in Denny's string of Liberty recordings. This features a fuller sound (if that is possible) and floats the listener along with typical Denny bliss. Ms. Warner is looking right stunning in her cover pose and once again brings us a step closer to the exotic world out there. As a child of the fifties this cover could begat dreams of wonder in man and boy alike. Still looks pretty good.
