The sing-jay innovator follows up his breakthrough Wa-Do-Dem release with this quality outing from 1983. And while he keeps the dread rhythms of the singular Roots Radics band, Eek switches producers to revisit some earlier triumphs with Linval Thompson at the board. Thompson weaves a tough and spacious sonic background similar to another of Eek's important producers of the time, Henry &Junjo& Lawes. Highlights include the title track, &Stadium Hot,& and &Schoolboy.& A top Eek-A-Mouse release.
