Our Day Will Come
LP (Item 6341) Kapp, Mid 60s — Condition: Near Mint-
Related searches
Sublime work from Ruby & The Romantics – a completely unique vocal group that took the one girl/four boys approach to a whole new level! Ruby Nash's sweet vocals drift over the top of the deeper harmonies of the male singers – in a way that's completely transcendent, and which opens up whole new territory in both soul and pop group modes – definitely a cut above the usual, at a level that makes just about every song by the group so great! Of course, the album's got a style that you'll recognize instantly from their landmark hit "Our Day Will Come", a tune that has as many subdued Civil Rights era political overtones as it does sweet warm charm – and other titles include "Day Dreaming", "Moonlight and Music", "My Prayer", and "By The Way". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has ring and edge wear, small peeled spot and tiny blemishes in front, some yellowed clear tape at the corners, and a peeled strip in back.)

Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
