Eden's Island was in fact covered by Arthur LYman for his 1963 album "Blowin' In The Wind".

The exotica song book is pretty small, so I'm sure Lyman was constantly on the lookout for new exotica-type tunes to include on his albums. Ahbez was certainly famous for penning the hit "Nature Boy" too. So I'm sure Lyman knew who he was and knew his "Eden's Island" LP as well. Of course this is only speculation.
