From Billboard - March 30, 1959: Liberty Records is re-releasing "Quiet Village," by Martin Denny. The disk (released as a single last October) suddenly showed up with heavy sales in Detroit three weeks ago, thereby prompting the label to re-release it nationally, including re-servicing of all radio stations.

The platter was originally featured in Denny's "Exotica" Volume 1 album. Meanwhile Denny, who just completed a six-week engagement at the Round Table here, opens at Bakers Keyboard Lounge, Detroit, this week, following which he plays a four-week date at London House in Chicago, starting April 15. He returns to Honolulu May 5, to resume a long-time run at Don the Beachcombers.
