BRAND NEW REISSUE!!! FIREHOUSE / DEADLY DRAGON SOUND

MICHAEL PROPHET - GIDDY UP

SECOND ROUND BEGINS NOW! This one comes straight from the vault of KING TUBBY! Last year we were contacted by the legendary King Tubby\\\'s daughter asking us if we would be interested in helping her to do a series of reissues. Apparently, in all these years, the family has not seen much of the money from all the various reissues -- so they wanted to partner with us to do the first OFFICIAL 7" FIREHOUSE reissue. She did not have any tape -- as much of her father\\\'s material was stolen after his death -- but she did have a number of the original Stampers that had not been used since 1987. We sorted through those stampers and selected some of the tunes that we thought were the wickedest. This MICHAEL PROPHET tune has always been one of our favorite FIREHOUSE tracks -- TUFF vocal style with a massive, BOOMING riddim that is indicitive of the genius of the KING TUBBY DIGITAL period. So here it is the SECOND OFFICIAL FIREHOUSE 7" reissue! A big bad BOOM tune!

R.I.P. BERTRAM BROWN 1950 - 2008

On Monday, September 8th our friend and trusted partner Bertram Brown passed away.

Mr. Brown was the Producer and Creator of the Freedom Sounds label and his musical legacy will always be remembered.

Bertram was a true champion of the people of Greenwich Town where he grew up and lived for his entire life. He was an apex of generousity – always willing to help those around him. We here at Deadly Dragon owe him everything for both his diligent work and the absolutely open-hearted way with which he allowed us into his life, his home and into the spirit of the music which nourishes us.

Words alone fail when trying to explain what this man meant to us.

We will miss him terribly. The world has truly lost an essential piece of light.

We send our condolences to his family and friends.

Bertram Brown – Zion awaits.

On Monday, September 15th, our Eastvillageradio.com program from 6-8 will be devoted to music and life of Mr. Brown. Please tune in.

BRAND NEW! DEADLY DRAGON INNA ROOTS STYLE. A few months back we got a collection of some of the rarest, ruffest roots music we had ever seen. It was simply inspiring to listen to it all. So, what better to do than put it all together into a mix cd? Yes indeed, that is what we did and this one came out lovely with 36 tracks of some of the deepest, heaviest roots to come out of the 1970s. As always, our CDs are mixed live with 2 turntables, mixer and sound effects...absolutely no computer overdubs or edits.

BOOM-CHUNE ALERT -- DEADLY DRAGON EXCLUSIVE 7" PRESSINGS!!!!

Yes Indeed...the big tunes Keep on coming! Deadly Dragon Sound and VP records have linked up with these 2 exclusive 7" pressings of 2 of the nicest tunes of the year -- Luciano\\\'s MASSIVE "SWEET JAMAICA" on the Full Up Riddim and Taurus Riley\\\'s THUNDEROUS "ONE, TWO ORDER" on the Great Stone riddim made famous by the one Prince Allah. Both of these tunes are instant classics; the type of tunes that would have sounded wicked blasting at a King Stur Grav dance in the 80s and will continue to sound wicked beaming down from an intergalactic dance in 2040! We at Deadly Dragon believe a BIG CHUNE a BIG CHUNE whether from 1960, 1980 or from right now in 2008, so as long as great tunes like this are being recorded we will do our best to provide them on VINYL for those who know the REAL sound of Jamaican music!
