BEFORE THE DAYLIGHT

『**BEFORE THE DAYLIGHT〜IS THE MOST DARKNESS MOMENT IN A DAY**』（ビフォア・ザ・デイライト イズ・ザ・モスト・ダークネス・モーメント・イン・ア・デイ）は、に発売された角松敏生の通算7作目のスタジオ・アルバム。

## 解説
1年8カ月振りのオリジナル・アルバム。『第30回日本レコード大賞』優秀アルバム賞受賞。オリコンアルバム・ランキングで同時期に発売された角松プロデュースによる中山美穂のアルバム『CATCH THE NITE』が1位、本作が2位と、1・2フィニッシュを記録した。

本作はAIR Recordsのレーベルは使用されていない一方で、オーン・レーベル立ち上げ前であることから品番とレーベル色自体はオーンと同じだが、オーンの表記がCD・LP・CTともレーベル面に無い。但しLPの盤面内周部に記載された原盤番号が「RAL-8853」と記されており、本作の制作当初は従来のAIR Recordsからのリリースが想定されていたとみられる。

「I CAN GIVE YOU MY LOVE」と「CAN'T YOU SEE」は、後にベスト・アルバム『1988-1993』に、「CAN'T YOU SEE」と「LADY IN THE NIGHT」、「I'D LIKE TO BE YOUR FANTASY」はアルバム『THE PAST & THEN』に、「I CAN GIVE YOU MY LOVE」と「Lost My Heart In The Dark」が『EARPLAY 〜REBIRTH 2〜』に、リテイク・ヴァージョンで収録された。
