Toyah – Ieya / Helium Song (1982) | Original UK Limited 7" Vinyl Picture Disc Single (Safari, SAFE P28)

Dive deep into the legendary birth of British post-punk and dark new wave history with this original 1982 UK limited-edition 7" vinyl picture disc single of Ieya by the iconic frontwoman Toyah Willcox. Originally cut to promote her historic debut studio album The Blue Meaning, this specific Safari Records picture disc features the highly sought-after 1982 re-recorded studio arrangement that stormed independent music charts across the United Kingdom.

This visually striking variant features stunning double-sided full-bleed image designs: the A-side features a sharp, colorful graphic print showcasing Toyah posing in front of a majestic vintage Gothic mansion backdrop alongside her signature orange text logo [image_jk6KdS.png], while the B-side features a gorgeous, intimate crimson-tinted studio glamour portrait print.

Because vintage picture discs double as standalone physical artwork, this pre-owned single is a flawless candidate for vinyl wall displays, music room box frames, or direct retro turntable use. Housed cleanly in a fresh, clear heavy-duty PVC protective sleeve

• Label: Safari Records
• Catalog Number: SAFE P28 (A-Side labeled SAFE P28)

• Vinyl Graphic & Playback (Very Good): The clear vinyl exterior displays a strong reflective gloss with minimal surface scuffs. The underlying color prints remain brilliantly sharp, vivid, and completely free of sun-fading. Note: As with all vintage 1980s picture discs, a slightly higher baseline surface crackle or background hiss is a natural artifact of the laminated design during audio tracking.
• Center & Spindle Hole (Very Good): The clear tracking paths, run-out rings, and center spindle punch-holes are structurally sound with no circular friction wear or stress hairline cracks.
• Sleeve (Very Good): Tucked safely inside a heavy-gauge, transparent PVC sleeve that is completely flexible and split-free along the bottom and side seams
