Notes
-----
Having overrun Jamaica, Eek-A-Mouse was now ready to infest
the world. In search of new pastures, the DJ scurried out
from producer Junjo Lawes, who helped establish him on the
JA charts, and slipped into the studio with Anthony and
Ronald Welch, emerging with the Assassinator album. It was
at this point that the US label (@RAS) stepped in and made
the album Mouse's debut domestic release. The King And I
followed, recorded in the UK with producer Cliff Carnegie.
The Mouse was now donning a new costume, that of a crossover
artist; he'd already been embraced by British punks, now it
was the turn of American rock fans. RAS label head Dr Dread
himself oversaw the DJ's next album, Eek-A-Nomics, home of
his most memorable US hit, "The Freak". Afterwards, the
artist found a new nest at the Island label, leaving RAS
three unforgettable albums to pick over. Ten fabulous cuts
are culled for Portraits, and present the many faces
(snouts?) of the furry star. From the surreal "The Freak" to
the serious "Gun Shot A Cry", roots "Assassinator" to rock
"Oh Me Oh My", mishaps "Penni- Walli" to machismo mouse
style "Macho Man", all delivered up in that unbelievable
vocal style that was all the DJ's own. And if that wasn't
enough, there's an additional incentive, Eek's special
holiday treat, a truly original take on "Twas The Night
Before Christmas", previously available on a RAS label
sampler from 1988. No need for an exterminator, this rodent
is a welcome addition to your record family.

enjoy!!!
