I saw Eek-a-mouse in Holland, in Leiden where I lived at the time, great gig. The guy's amazingly tall, like nearly seven ft. Went through a load of costume changes too, bit of a showman.
This one of my favs, not Eek-a-mouse, but a classic nonetheless.

Eek-a-Mouse is sampled at the end of this (very good) song by Damian Marley. Apparently he's in dispute with Marley over it. Don't think he ever got paid.

These aren't "pure" reggae (I love lots of "pure" reggae, but have lately been into blends and remixes), but I think they're awesome anyway:

I'd put in some straight Bob Marley but I think in a thread like this, that's a given.

I'm not all that knowledgeable about reggae, but I reckon this thread needs Burning Spear.
