This ya one originally came out on a CLAY POT 12" as the flip to our previously reissued TENEMENT YARD. The combination of those two tunes on one 12" made it one of the tuffest Digital Roots 12"s of the 80s and seemingly impossible to find.
This ya one originally came out on a I 95 12" entitled REGGAE MUSIC & I. A serious piece of bubbling Digital by the obscure Guyanese by way of Brooklyn singer, Errol T. who used to mosh up stage shows with the Mini Mart Sound System back in the 1980s.
This is the first time these two massive tunes have made it onto 7". They originally appeared on Lilly Melody's LP for Park Heights and were always stellar examples of the Brooklyn Digital Sound.

Park Heights - Deadly Dragon Sound LINK UP Part 2! Sluggy Ranks was one of the greatest vocalists of NYC's Digital Renaissance of the 1980s. While he cut brilliant tunes for a variety of producers at the time, we found his work for Delroy Francis and the Park Heights label to simply be stellar. "Prejudice" came out originally on a PARK HEIGHTS 12" and was not included on his LP for the label. For this reissue we are releasing the tune for the first time on 7"vinyl.
Yesss indeed the HUGE tune come again when Park Heights - Deadly Dragon Link Up for ROUND 2!! First tune up is ROLAND BURREL's haunting "DON'T THINK ABOUT TOMORROW" on the same riddim as NUTHEAD's digital roots anthem, "Tenement Yard". This tune had only come out previously on an LP and this is the first time it has appeared on 7".
BOOM!!! The Deadly Dragon / Park Heights Collaboration continues with this killer piece of Rockfort Rock! This song was originally an LP only cut and this exclusive reissue will be the first time that is has ever been released on 7".

Roland Burrell - Don't Think About Tomorrow (Deadly Dragon / Park Heights 7" Reissue)
Let us now bow our heads and give a three fisted Brap Brap Brap gun salute to the golden years of New York City Reggae!!!!!
There was a time in the 80s and 90s when New York City could stand head to head with Kingston as the hottest place for dancehall music....clubs like Q Club, Reggae Lounge, Love People, Biltmore Ballroom ran things at night while during the day Utica Avenue, Fulton and Church was like MUSIC CENTRAL with tons of record stores and labels booming up the big tunes for the people. New York had its own sound and its own artists, and one of the finest spots was the store called PARK HEIGHTS ran by Delroy Francis and his wife Flavia. The two of them ran one of the hottest stores and from early on began producing a slew of unique records both Roots, Digital and dancehall. Delroy had his finger on the pulse of the new digital language of the mid-eighties and combined that heavy production with some of the best underground singers and DJs who were then living in Brooklyn.
Well we are proud to introduce our first set in what will be a long series of Reissues done in collaboration with Delroy Francis and his Park Heights label. These tunes come directly from the original master tapes and were pressed right here in New York in lovely, high quality vinyl!
Boom! Probably one of Park Heights most famous tunes; this combination tune takes Jr. Byles classic FADE AWAY and flips it inna digital style over a RUFF version of Peenie Peenie -- yes indeed Jango comes with with the singjay style while Sleepy Wonder busts it in pure NYC fast Chat styleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Whewwwwwwww.....I can actually remember the first time I heard this one. Selector JD, my good friend and partner here at Deadly Dragon, dropped this piece of RIDICULOUS digital madness once on me and I was consumed with PURE jealousy!!!! Yes...this ya tune an ICON of great 80s digital. First off, the riddim is a BANGER...heavy, heavy SCREECHY CROSS THE BORDER type thing and then add it to Lilly Melody's enormous vocals which ride on top like a master jockey -- and what you have is the perfect storm of a chune!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't say enough about this tune other than I am more than proud to share this one with alla you!!!!!!!!!!
