   For sale is Lovers by Babyface, released in 1986 by Solar Records and manufactured by Capitol Records. In the dead wax between the label and the last track is stamped "Mastered By Capitol" followed by "Wally" and the matrix numbers F-2/F-2. These etchings indicate that the record was mastered by Wally Traugott at Capitol Studios and an early stamper was used to make this album. These hallmarks signify state-of-the-art engineering and superior sound quality, sought after by collectors and music lovers. I bought this album used, professionally cleaned it in my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into a MFSL archival inner sleeve. This protects the vinyl and any original inner sleeve that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The cover is graded as Excellent with corner blunts and tiny stress cracks along the spine. The spine has a little color loss from these cracks. The vinyl is visually graded as VG because of a surface scratches and some sleeve marks. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection.  I have a lot more Soul records, as well as albums of all different genres listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They are mostly Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
