The visible side of the cover showcases a dynamic photograph, showing a man (presumably Billy Joel) in motion, dressed in a dark jacket and light jeans, with his arm raised in front of a modern glass structure. In the background, bare trees and the reflection of a silhouette are visible, reinforcing the urban and wintry aesthetic of the scene. The typography of \"Billy Joel\" and the song titles, in vibrant red at the top left and right, immediately captures attention, contributing to the visual identity of the 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CBS logo appears at the bottom left of the cover, indicating the publishing label. The reference \"CBS 8747\" is also noticeable, a typical signature of European pressings from that period. The cover photograph is characterized by strong contrasts and a photographic style typical of the late 1970s and early 1980s, with a dynamic composition and dominant cool colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe record is not visible in the image; only the front cover is shown. No major flaws are visible on the exposed side: the print appears clear, with no apparent stains, creases, or tears on the front. The cover's sheen suggests good preservation, although minor age-related wear may be present without being explicitly visible in this photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main inscriptions are perfectly legible: \"Billy Joel\" at the top left, \"Don’t Ask Me Why\" and \"Through the Long Night\" on the right. The whole evokes Billy Joel's pop-rock universe and is part of the tradition of vintage vinyl singles sought after for their aesthetic and analog sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 45 RPM single is for those who want to rediscover the charm of old singles, with an iconic cover and a CBS edition that testifies to the craftsmanship of European pressings of the time. The image highlights the clothing and graphic style of the period, reinforcing the object's retro appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
