There was also a ‘cigarette box’ style package issued in the UK, containing a yellow cassette single. I remember that record shops didn’t stock it automatically, it had to be ordered in specially for the customers (the item’s catalogue number had been listed on the promo ads in the music press). IIRC, a cassette single was an unusual format in 1981, but were more common by 1983 when Tour de France got released.

Think the fluro yellow, often beloved of cyclists for greater visibility, might suit a Tour De France 7″ better :)

I know what you mean, but I don’t think ugly is always bad.

This is neat – very simple, but neat nonetheless. The images themselves lose some of the effect without the record inside the sleeve – all the overlapping makes it seem, well, frankly, kind of ugly – but eh. It’s still cool.
