Condition (Visual):

Collector Notes:
Extremely scarce Connecticut soul issue. The Daye label has very limited documented releases and appears to have been a local imprint, making surviving copies hard to locate. “Thinking of My Baby” is a sweet, harmony-driven cut, while “Coffee Grinder” carries a funkier instrumental groove. Both sides are excellent examples of independent East Coast soul.
