Jack Rabbit is a wacky, blown-out, stomping mess of a rock song, clearly inspired by Chuck Berry. Icky Renrut is just a silly psuedonym for Ike Turner. Probably best heard through a broken tin-can boombox- for maximun distorted effect.
Warda is a French-born Algerian singer, who eventually moved to Egypt and married composer Baligh Hamdi. He wrote the music for Esmaouni. This album was a Sout el Hob production from Atef Montasser & Co, Cairo. Manufactured and Distributed by EMI Greece. 1974. I fixed up this custom cover art till I can get a proper scan.
Soeur Marie Keyrouz is a Melkite nun, originally from Lebabon- now based in Paris. She's a well-regarded singer and scholar of ancient and Eastern church music. She has a stunning voice.
Palanque Palenque! The latest release from Soundway is a hot one. They're doing a killer job exploring African influences on Colombia music, as of late. More info at the Soundway site. *Does that 2nd track "Pim Pom" sound like classic Fela, or what?

A note from Nate:
"The skinny on Ready When You Are J.B.-
This album has been out of print for a while. The original being 12 tracks, which I revamped to 25. Any James Bond themes are instrumental versions from the original soundtracks, making it a purely instrumental record. There are some real classics on here that I searched hard for. The original album was released in 1970, with John Barry rerecording his 'best' soundtrack songs with a more stripped-down ensemble, which, in my opinion, are superior to some of the original orchestral versions. My dad had this on vinyl when I was a kid and passed it on to me, a true classic. Enjoy.
P.S.- I used [read: Nate made] new art for it, of course. :)"
