Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features the original sleeve of the single "Bye Bye" performed by Billy, depicted in a light blue outfit on the cover illustration. The classic square-shaped sleeve displays typical 1980s graphics, with a blue grid background, yellow graphic elements, and a photograph of the singer in a light-colored suit. The Polydor logo is clearly visible at the bottom left, indicating its release by this renowned label.

The visual highlights a retro design with handwritten typography for the name "Billy" and the title "Bye Bye" in blue. The overall aesthetic evokes late 20th-century pop, reinforced by the singer's clothing style and the choice of vibrant colors. The background of the photo shows a warm wooden decor, which does not influence the object itself but enhances its vintage appeal.

The reference number "817 867-7" is printed at the top right of the sleeve, allowing for precise identification of this edition. No other text or logo is visible on the front face, apart from the Polydor emblem and a graphic signature at the bottom right.

The sleeve shows some signs of wear, including creases and small marks on the cardboard, indicating prior use. The colors remain vibrant and the inscriptions clearly legible. The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the sleeve is shown.

This 45 rpm format, also known as a single or SP (Single Play), is particularly sought after for its practicality and iconic status in the world of vinyl records. The graphic style and general presentation of this Polydor record correspond to the French pop aesthetic of the 80s, a period during which this type of item was widely distributed.
