GOOD TUNES LOST IN A BAD NAME

REMEMBER those naff compilation tapes they used to sell in Woolworths?
Back in the day I picked one up which turned out to be one of my favourite summer tapes ever, a classic selection of lazy hip-hop tunes featuring the likes of De la Soul, Tribe Called Quest and Bomb the Bass.
I listened to it on repeat for one long school holiday, then I lost it at some sleepover party.
So, 18 years on, I've embarked on a hunt to find a copy, although I'm not having much luck online.
What I've learned so far is it was released on July 20, 1992, on a label called Dino Entertainment and no-one seems to have a copy.
It was a brilliant selection of summer tunes that definitely need a resurrection but don't be put off by the twee name - Let's Talk About Love.
In the meantime, while my search continues, I thought I'd put the full track listings on here so anyone who's so inclined can replicate the playlist on their i-Pod.
Let me know if you have a copy - and put a comment on this post if you like the songs.
