Arcadia
Goodbye Is Forever
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1986 12" EP in shrink. "Goodbye Is Forever" is a 12-inch vinyl single released by Arcadia, a side project formed by members of the iconic band Duran Duran. The single was released in 1986, from their only studio album "So Red the Rose." This particular release features a mix of the title track "Goodbye Is Forever," along with additional tracks that highlight the band's exploration into a more experimental and atmospheric sound distinct from Duran Duran's pop sensibilities. The single includes the main track on Side A and extended or alternate versions on Side B, providing listeners with a broader experience of the song's production nuances.

Arcadia consisted of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor, and their work on "Goodbye Is Forever" showcases their collaborative synergy outside of their primary band. The vinyl's cover art and packaging maintain the sophisticated and artistic aesthetic that Arcadia is known for, echoing the visual themes of their album "So Red the Rose." As a collectible, this vinyl represents a unique phase in the members' musical journey during the mid-1980s, capturing a moment when they were experimenting with darker and more introspective themes.
