- For its take on legendary reggae toaster Eek-a-Mouse, Greensleeves' MOST WANTED series focuses on the singjayer's most heralded years. For a period in the early-1980's, Eek-a-Mouse supplied roughly an album per year of hypnotic, sun-soaked reggae, breathing some much-needed light in the wake of multiple tragedies. This compilation focuses on the 12-inch versions of many of the artist's greatest hits of the era, unearthing some tracks previously available only on vinyl. Included on MOST WANTED are such hits as "Ganja Smuggling," "Wa-Do-Dem," and "Noah's Ark."
Professional Reviews Uncut (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "This collection sees the singer on top form and shines a light on the pulsating instrumentals he rode so well."
The Wire (p.63) - "The smash hit 'Wa-Do-Dem' is here, as is 'Wild Like A Tiger', with The High Times Band competing with The Radics on the heavyweight dub scale..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he idiosyncratic vocalist ruled the charts with a combination of heavy dancehall rhythms and stark reality lyrics..."
