Eek-A-Mouse – Skidip! 1982 UK Greensleeves Reggae Dancehall

Eek-A-Mouse (born Ripton Joseph Hylton) is a Jamaican reggae musician. He is one of the earliest artists to be described as a "singjay". Eek-A-Mouse is well known for pioneering his own style of scatting, differing from the-then toasting deejays in the 80s. Interestingly, he adopted the stage name "Eek-A-Mouse" in 1979, taking the name of a racehorse he always bet on; 'Skidip' is his third album. 
The 'Our Price' stickered custom printed card sleeve would certainly grade as EX+ to NM. It shows little sign of handling and storage wear (slight corner rubbing/bumping). The spine is readable and the entry edge shows minimal signs of use. 
The original polythene inner is undamaged and graded as EX+. 
The vinyl is without doubt EX+ and has not been played much. The yellow Greensleeves labels are clean and unmarked with only the hint of a spindle mark on either side. On play grading there was a little faint crackle on the run in on both sides but nothing substantial, maybe a rare pop or click (certainly nothing to spoil the enjoyment of the record - even at high volume), during the remainder of the album. It plays superbly with very strong audio. The surface is very clean, glossy and shiny, a superb copy that conservatively grades as EX+.
Although not guaranteed the Matrix Numbers appear to be 
Matrix / Runout (Side A Runout): GREL 41 A. TOPIA PAG W Matrix / Runout (Side B Runout): GREL 41B. PAG.

An opportunity to acquire an album in excellent EX+ condition overall.
