Aux armes et cætera

Aux Armes et cætera is the thirteenth album by Serge Gainsbourg, released in the early spring of 1979. It was recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, with some of the island's best reggae musicians as well as members of the I Threes, Bob Marley's backup chorus which includes Rita Marley. Further expanded by new mixes released in 2003, the album is considered by many as being one of his masterpieces. The French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 50th greatest French rock album (out of 100). With the notable exception of Peter Tosh recording a duet with Mick Jagger a few months before, it was the first time a Jewish, European singer recorded reggae in Jamaica.
