Naomi Campbell - Love And Tears CDS (1994)

In 1994 Naomi decided to step off the catwalk for a while to show the world she's more than skin and legs. A couple of singles and an album Baby Woman (with awesome image of the model shaving her legs on the cover) is all that's left. Love And Tears shows clearly that her talent is definitely somewhere else. My promo copy came without that sticker and I'll tell ya there's nothing to see underneath. Anyway the package also contained a luxurious towel with her name on it. That's entertainment!

Kruder & Dorfmeister - G-Stoned EP (1993 G-Stone)

This great four-track EP is a true trip hop icon. Contains the trip hop anthems (sic!) High Noon and Deep Shit Pt. 1 And Pt. 2; as well as Definition and Original Bedroom Rockers; all exploited on zillions of compilations. Originally released on K&D's own label G-Stone in Austria, it was set for US release on Bruno Guez's label Quango, and somehow this promo copy had found its way back to Europe and into my possession. After all these years I still love the Simon & Garfunkel pastiche on the cover. Sadly this is the only original release by these viennese gentlemen of distinction.
