Eek-A-Mouse
(born Ripton Joseph Hylton) was one of the most unique talents to emerge from
the Jamaican reggae scene in the 1980s. The Mouse's inimitable vocal flow
combines an unconventional melodic approach filled with rhythm and humor. His
unmistakable half-singing, half-deejaying (rapping) style inspired the term
"singjay".
Eek-Ology
is a thoughtful selection of essential hits and rare gems from Eek-A-Mouse's extensive catalogue
during the prime of his career. The anthology features early recordings like
his 1979 breakthrough anthem Once a
Virgin produced by Joe Gibbs, Modelling Behavior produced Linval Thompson and his string of '80s
hits with producer Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes (Virgin Girl, Wild Like a
Tiger, For Hire and Removal, Do You Remember and Ganja Smuggling). Fans can also be treated to a selection of
rarities, including Eek-A-Mouse's
earliest releases Creation, My Father's Land and No Wicked Can't Reign all making their
CD debut.
Other highlights include a previously unreleased four-song BBC John Peel session from 1983, multiple 12" mixes and an epic DVD featuring his exquisite live stage performance at Jamaica's 1982 Sunsplash.
