Long Time Ago Riddim on Volcano Records is a 1981 Henry Lawes production that brings together classic early dancehall energy with a tight, lean backing cut that was voiced most memorably by Eek-A-Mouse on Long Time Ago and Little John on Give Thanks And Praise. Lawes was already shaping Volcano into one of the key labels of the era, and this set sits right in that run of tough, stripped-down sounds that helped define the early 1980s Jamaican dancehall scene. Eek-A-Mouse’s quirky delivery gives the title cut extra character, while Little John adds a grateful, rootsy contrast on his version.
