 |  | "Voulez Vous Vuitton Avec Moi?" | 
| | While we often have Louis Vuitton items on the floor (some other examples are featured below), Center44 vintage jewelry boutique, Butter, just brought in a truly unique Vuitton Record Case designed by Helmut Lang in 1996 in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the LV Monogram. |  | 
The pared down, masculine design features unpolished metal hardware reminiscent of vintage Vuitton trunks. Only 50 of these highly coveted Record Cases were produced for sale. It holds up to 70 albums with detachable compartments for CDs and accessories. It's in mint condition and was only used for display in original owner's office. | | This example is numbered 0047 (out of 0050) and includes two keys on VL keychain, a book titled “Seven Designers in Monogram” (in which the case is photographed and essayed), a portfolio of press clippings supplied by Vuitton, a personal note from Vuitton’s NYC store manager to original owner and three additional VL tags. Other recipients include Johnny Depp, Chrissie Hynde, John Travolta, Courtney Love and Grandmaster Flash (pictured above), who also starred in the ad campaign. Learn more. |
| Heard in the Aisles - Song of the Week |  | "You Broke My Heart And I Broke Your Jaw" by Bobby & Sylvia Bobby Hebb and the recently departed Sylvia Robinson would both score enduring hits in their lifetimes, Sylvia with sultry siren call "Pillow Talk" and Hebb with the all-time pop classic "Sunny." But not before they recorded their over-the-top homage to domestic violence, "You Broke My Heart And I Broke Your Jaw," in 1962 as Bobby & Sylvia. Robinson's storied career as an R&B singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and label honcho includes her early 50s recordings with Hot Lips Page, the sinuous blues number "Love Is Strange" as part of Mickey & Sylvia, her own "Pillow Talk" and "Shame, Shame, Shame" for Shirley & Company in the 70s, and the founding of the mothership of hip-hop labels, Sugar Hill Records, with the first global rap smash "Rapper's Delight" in 1979. "You Broke My Heart And I Broke Your Jaw" was featured as part of a two-hour tribute to Sylvia Robinson on Monica's October 2nd show on WFMU.
