Eek-A-Mouse live at Arena, Long Beach California on May 15th, 1983. Kingston native, Ripton Joseph Hylton, began his music career in college, releasing two roots reggae singles under his own name in the mid-1970s before achieving global recognition alongside Junjo Lawes and Linval Thompson. From his early work with Joe Gibbs, Papa Roots, Black Ark, Gemini, Jah Life and Black Scorpio to the drum-and-bass definitions of Lincoln Valentine "Style" Scott and Errol "Flabba" Holt, Eek-A-Mouse has exceeded in creating highly desirable dancehall mantras with a social and satirical twist. In 1983, he brought his unique blend of dancehall scat to the Long Beach Arena, California to give the west coast of America a toke on Jamaican gumbo with an explosive set featuring cuts from his debut Bubble Up Yu Hip (1980), Wa-Do-Dem (1981), Skidip! (1982), Assassinator (1983) and his then current album The Man and The Mouse (1983). Klondike presents the entire original KSAN FM broadcast of Eek-A-Mouse in performance at the Arena, Long Beach, California from May 15th, 1983. Professionally remastered original broadcast. Includes background liners and rare archival photos.
