Two Middle Eastern-themed pieces of wild '50s dancefloor exotica here, with Ray Ellis' "The Sheik" a perennial favorite among instro-freaks with its big production and uptempo, insistent rhythm. What's more, pitch it down and you also have a classic Belgian popcorn spin. On the flip, The Sheiks themselves give us their somewhat skewed interpretation of the East with the playful "Baghdad Rock," a silly but charming jaunt perfect to accompany the most exotic of dance shows, and a novelty record for the true connoisseur.
