Step into the sophisticated, jazz-tinted world of late-1980s sophisti-pop with this original 1987 UK 7" pressing of "Promises" by Polish singer-songwriter Basia (formerly of Matt Bianco). Released on the classic blue-and-white script Epic label (Catalog Number: BASH 4), this vintage 45 RPM single stands out as a brilliant exhibition of her unique vocal style and upbeat bossa nova influences.
The A-side features the highly sought-after "Promises (French Mix)", masterfully mixed by the legendary PWL 'Mix-master' Phil Harding. The B-side presents the groove-driven companion track "Give Me That". Housed in its original iconic monochrome picture sleeve showcasing stunning portrait photography by Paul Cox and design by Tomcat, this British retail pressing is a must-have archive addition for fans of sophisti-pop, smooth jazz, and late-80s dance-pop history.

Condition Report
- Vinyl Record: Very Good Plus (VG+). The vinyl maintains an exceptional, deep mirror-like factory gloss across both sides. Under tight direct grading illumination, the play surfaces show very minor cosmetic paper handling traces and fine superficial storage scuffs, with no deep or distracting scratches present. The blue-and-white Epic labels are clean, vibrant, and entirely free of center-spindle wear or writing.
- Picture Sleeve: Very Good (VG). The original paper picture sleeve is structurally complete and sturdy with no major split seams. The front monochrome portrait cover presents crisp detail with minimal handling lines. The reverse lyric side shows expected signs of age and retail storage, including a faint ring wear outline against the off-white areas and minor storage creasing along the top opening edge.
