Annihaya is proud to release Sun City Girls' Gum Arabic, a limited edition of 1000 copies with artwork by artist Hatem Imam. All tracks on this CD are cover songs from Sun City Girl's repertoire, several frequently performed by the group live for more than 20 years. Several cuts were inspired by found unmarked cassettes and radio recordings made in Egypt and Morocco by Alan Bishop in the early 1980s. The original song titles and composers of the radio-inspired arrangements are unknown. SCG created their own song titles and rearranged, at times radically, the music to fit their vision. The rest of the tracks are by various artists from the Middle East and North Africa. One track, 'Wild World of Animals' is an African piece written for the theme of an American television show by the same name from the 1970s
