Eden Ahbez / Eden’s Island: The Music of an Enchanted Island – Del-Fi Records DFLP-1211 (1960)(US) ...This auction is for an extremely hard to find, original issue Record. Eden Ahbez's main claim to fame was as the composer of the album’s track "Nature Boy." The melodically and lyrically beguiling song was a huge pop hit for Nat King Cole; it would be covered by many other reputable performers, including Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, Sarah Vaughan, and the Great Society (Grace Slick's pre-Jefferson Airplane band). But Ahbez's modern stature rests on this 1960 album that mixed exotica album and beatnik poetry. He boasted a resumé as colorful and mysterious as his music. Born Alexander Aberle in Brooklyn in the early 20th century, he changed his name in the 1940s shortly after moving to California. A hippie a good 20 years before his time, he cultivated a Christ-like appearance with his shoulder-length hair and beard. He claimed to live on three dollars a week, sleeping outdoors with his family, eating vegetables, fruits, and nuts. The Record and Cover are in excellent (Very Good++) condition. The cover is very clean with sharp corners and edges and no notable wear. The record is also very nice with some light, minor wear. Satisfaction Guaranteed. The album will include a high-quality resealable plastic outer sleeve. For payment please use Paypal (checks or money orders are no longer accepted due to eBay’s new policy.
