"Ready Steady Go" hit the shops in May 2002 as one half of a double single with "Southern Sun", a month ahead of Paul Oakenfold's album Bunkka, where both tracks ended up. Where "Southern Sun" went to Carla Werner, this one hands the microphone to Asher D, who comes in as the guest lead voice.
Oakenfold wrote and produced it with Andy Gray, who also engineered, with Jeff Turzo adding extra production and mix work and Phil Corderone and Mark Ralph on guitars. It's breakbeat with a rock swagger, pitched in C-sharp minor and built to hit hard, and it came out on Perfecto Records. "Starry Eyed Surprise" followed it.
