Stereolab - Stunning Debut Album 7"

(Duophonic Super 45s – [DS45-02], 1991) [UK/FR]

I'm not sure this is the actual 'debut' from London-based group, Stereolab, with a French singer, despite it having debut in its title. They had a number of single releases in 1991 and I'm unsure which one came out first. Released on the bands' home label, Duophonic Super 45s. Awesome single and a piece of history!

Cathy Claret - Pomme de pin 7"

(Les Disques Du Crépuscule – [TWI 959-7], 1991) [ESP/FR]

Cathy Claret is a little bit French, a little bit Spanish, and a little bit gypsy, a chanteuse based in Barcelona.  Her music has become a blend of different sounds: pop-music, bossanova, flamenco guitars, rumba, toy instruments… The A-Side here is sung in French and the B-Side is in Spanish. I had ordered some records from a seller on Discogs, and they had thrown this 7" in as a freebie. Glad they did!
