   For sale is Babyface's The Day, originally released in 1996 by Epic Records. I bought this new, played it once or twice and immediately put it away into storage until today. In the dead wax between the label and the last track are the matrix numbers 1-A/1-B, signifying that this was a first stamper of the first pressing. It means that this is the best sounding version of this album. I always put my new records directly into a protective inner sleeve(s), thus preserving the integrity of the insert(s) and the original inner sleeve(s). The original inner sleeve is Excellent with a corner crease. The vinyl is Near Mint. The cover is Near Mint. The spine is perfect. It's been played only on Audiophile equipment and still has a lot of life yet. This is the best copy of this record that I have ever seen or heard. I think that you would be hard pressed to find this album in a better condition, being that it is very rare. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection. I have a lot more R&B and Soul albums, as well as records of all genres, in my Ebay Store. Please take a look. They're all Near Mint. Thanks 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!
