An individual, limited edition, example of vinyl record art made from a genuine, original, 45rpm, 7” single featuring the Dire Straits hit single from 1980, Romeo And Juliet. Released on the Vertigo record label, this pop rock classic has been reworked into a loving couple, locked in a loving embrace.

The lyrics of the song describe the experience of the two lovers of the title, hinting at a situation that saw the ‘Juliet’ figure abandon her ‘Romeo’ after finding fame and moving on from the rough neighbourhood, where they first encountered each other. In addition to the reference to William Shakespeare’s play of the same title, the song makes playful allusion to other works involving young love, including the songs Somewhere – from West Side Story, which is itself based on the Shakespeare play.
