今回はStriker Lee / Deadly Dragon Sound Exclusive 7" Reissue: Simple Simon "Revolution Fighter" & "Hey Bad Boy", "Christopher Columbus"を紹介します。
Striker Lee / Deadly Dragon reissue come back again!!! Yesss indeed!!! The late, great Simple Simon has long been one of our true, favorite artists. While sometimes dismissed as an Eek A Mouse imitator, Simple Simon brought the bing diddy bong style of Mouse and added his own narrative and lyrical skill creating some truly unique tunes. For these reissues we grabbed three great tunes: REVOLUTION FIGHTER which rides a RUFF version of the TAKE FIVE riddim made famous by Al Campbell's BAD BOY and Little John's MIX UP. On this tune, Simple Simon twists Burning Spear's SLAVERY DAY lyrics into a burning cry for justice that stays right on the edge of true RAGE! On the B Side is a sweet dubbed out version of the riddim for all you plate cutters and version heads out there! HEY BAD BOY is on an early cut of the BOOPS riddim and it balances the joy inherent in that riddim with serious lyrics that addresses the extreme violence of the 80s on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS rides on a nice lick of the Kutchie / Full Up riddim and breaks down the history of the controversial Columbus! As always these reissues were taken from the original tapes and limited to a 500 piece pressing and ONLY available at Deadly Dragon Sound!!
Brand New Deadly Dragon Exclusive 7inch Vinyl Reissues!
Jah Roots - Gone A Foreign b/w Rolex - Tell Me Teacher. Jah Roots and Biggy Ranks - Clean Up My Kingdom
Last year we found a deeply beat up copy of the original DUKE 7" "Jah Roots - Gone A Foreign" and underneath all the scratches and hiss, we heard a brilliant digital roots tunes...HEAVY, driving bassline with classic Waterhouse style vocals. We had never seen another copy of the tune and was amazed at how this SERIOUS slice of music had eluded not just us but all the heavy Digital collectors out there. On our next trip down to Jamaica, we were able to locate JAH ROOTS who, it turns out, also produced the tune. Apparently he had recorded his vocal in the 80s but never released it until the early 90s at which time he recorded his combination with Biggy Ranks as well a next tune pon the riddim, ROLEX - TELL ME TEACHER. Well, the man had his tapes still, so we put it all together and BOOOM! here they are. As always these 7"s are limited to 500 pieces and are available ONLY at Deadly Dragon Sound!
A few months ago we found this Manchez 7" and were simply blown away -- it is rare for us to find a record that we have NEVER seen and even rarer when that tune is simply brilliant. A total unknown, Manchez combined the urgency of such great 80s singjays as Courtney Melody, Half Pint and Pinchers to create this fiery slab of Digital Righteousness that rides over a driving version of MPLA! When we went to Jazzbo, he could barely remember who Manchez was but had no problem locating the tapes for us alongside a KILLER dub version. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
今回はDeadly Dragon Soundから再発されたWicked 80's Tune "Horace Martin - Me Rule"を紹介します。
Horace martin - Me Rule Deadly Dragon Sound Exclusive! Modernize / Deadly Dragon Sound released: 1980s (DDS Repress) • format: 7" • producer: Prince Huntley
Deadly Dragon Sound is proud to announce their latest re-issue: Horace Martin's monster tune ME RULE on the Modernize Music label. Originally released in 1985, ME RULE was produced by the man PRINCE HUNTLEY and the DUB was cut by Prince Tubby. ME RULE is a tune that lies at the crossroads of the major digital sounds of 1986 and the earlier roots inflected rub a dub of Channel One. Drawing power from both these genres, ME RULE has grown into an underground classic appealing to both the ROOTS STEPPERS crowd and the Digital heads. This reissue was taken directly from Prince Huntley's master tapes and contains the dub that was mixed by King Tubby himself. We here at Deadly Dragon thank Prince Huntley for allowing us the opportunity to share his wonderful music with the world.
この曲は１９８５年にPrince Huntley & Prince TubbyプロデュースによりリリースされたDigital Roots Tune。１９８６年代に主流だったDigitalトラックとChannel OneレーベルのRub a Dub Tuneが融合したような感じの曲です。特にRoots Steppers, Digital Headsは必聴！！裏面のKing TubbyによるDub MixもWickedです。
