Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

Eden Ahbez (1908-1995) was an influential American songwriter and recording artist of the 1940s-1960s. His unique lifestyle in California had a profound impact on the hippie movement, earning him the nickname "ahbe" among friends. Ahbez's most notable achievement was composing the iconic song "Nature Boy," which topped the charts for eight weeks in 1948 by Nat "King" Cole and has since become a beloved pop and jazz standard.

The classic - and only - album release from the man who wrote the massive selling Nature Boy as made famous by Nat 'King' Cole and covered by everyone from Sinatra and Esquivel to Nick Cave. A masterpiece of easy listening that has inspired chill-out compilations around the globe, not to mention a better way of looking at the world, Eden's Island is pure exotica on one dozen beautifully-crafted songs. Plus the A-side of his only single release, Tobago and the only recording of his Nature Boy suite along with nine other Ahbez-penned slices of exotica.

CD - Re-mastered from the original sound sources with sleeve-notes by Mojo magazine's Dave Henderson.
