#281 The Best Album of 1989, Round 1 Match #40: Kirsty MacColl vs. Gang Starr

Hey folks!

First pic: A black and white photo of Kirsty MacColl (RIP), a pretty white woman who I believe has red hair. It's just her shoulders and head, and her back is to us, and her head is pointed to the right in profile.  Second pic: Two young Black men looking at the camera on a totally white background. They are facing each other, but one is slightly in front of the other, and both are leaning back away from each other. Their arms are crossed. They both wear black hats, sweater-like shirts, and one has black sunglasses and what looks like baggy leather pants.
