There's not much to be said about Goldie (because there really isn't much information), but all I can tell you is that she was an Electro-era rapper who liked to wear fly sparkly outfits, and who was signed to a Bronx label called Real Def records.
Side A features several mixes of a single she had called Crack Kid, which warns listeners about the dangers of smoking crack (it will turn you gay, or into a prostitute, and you will die on the street!). There is a club mix, a shorter radio edit, and an instrumental (which is quite funky). I've included all three in the link at the bottom, but only because there were some audible flaws on the club mix version.
Side B features a vocal mix and an instrumental version of another song called Get Funky. This one is a more straightforward party record, and it does not disappoint. Goldie's lyrics are endearingly simple, and the beat is so good, she actually takes the time to apologize for it, as if it was distracting. Both versions are included in the link below as well.
Both songs are produced by Robert James, and both feature the self-declared "Human Beat Box King" Lamont "Kendu" James. I can't really find much info on these people either, which is a shame, because they are all really talented. Not sure what happened to Goldie, but she sure was fly.
