【9Box Music Recycle Log】Veteran Music Lover Changes Collection Track: Priscilla Chan's *Priscilla* Original Vinyl and CD

In the fast-paced city of Hong Kong,there are always some melodies that can instantly slow us down and transport us back to the golden eighties,an era filled with cassette tapes and vinyl records. As Hong Kong's professional recycling platform for second-hand vinyl records and physical music media,we at "9Box Music" meet various music lovers every day,listening to their stories with music.

Today,we want to share a true recycling story about "letting go" and "transformation."

🎵 Buyer's Story: An Auditory Transformation from "Pop Classics" to "Classical Symphony"

Seller Profile:

  • Name: Brother Fai (52 years old)
  • Occupation: Senior Building Surveyor
  • Reason for Selling: Audio equipment upgrade and a complete shift in collection focus (transitioning to classical symphonies),freeing up space in the record cabinet for more large-ensemble classical vinyl.

Last Thursday afternoon,Brother Fai arrived at our "9Box Music" studio carrying two heavy reusable bags. Brother Fai is an audiophile with thirty years of experience,having enjoyed everything from early cassette tapes and CDs to vinyl records.

"It's really hard to let go; these are all records I painstakingly hunted for in record stores when I was young," Brother Fai said with a smile as he carefully took out the records. "But I recently upgraded my home's vacuum tube amplifier and horn speakers,and my listening taste has completely changed. I've become obsessed with classical symphonies by Mahler and Beethoven. Record cabinet space is really limited. Although these 80s Cantonese pop songs are classics,I barely listen to them once a year now. Instead of letting them gather dust in the cabinet,it's better to hand them over to '9Box Music' to help them find new owners who will truly listen to and appreciate them."

Brother Fai's reason was very pure,a choice made by a true music lover—to let music flow,rather than become stagnant objects.

💿 Collection Appreciation: Cantonese Pop Treasures Matured by Time

Among the collection Brother Fai brought,what caught our eye the most was a series of classic albums by Priscilla Chan.

First up is this exceptionally well-preserved original vinyl record of "Priscilla's Love" (refer to file image (1).jpg). The cover,featuring Priscilla Chan in her iconic hat,instantly evoked countless memories. The corners of the sleeve were still sharp,with no obvious signs of moisture damage or wear,demonstrating Brother Fai's meticulous care.

When we put on white gloves and gently pulled out the vinyl record itself (refer to file image (2).jpeg),the classic red Polydor label came into view. Under strong light,the disc surface still maintained a deep luster. Aside from a very few unavoidable minor marks from paper sleeve removal,there were almost no scratches affecting playback,which is rare for a vinyl record over thirty years old.

In addition to the vinyl record,Brother Fai also transferred several classic Priscilla Chan CD albums,including "Rebel," "Autumn Colors," and various compilation albums (refer to file image (9).png). These early first pressings and high-quality sound versions of CDs are also highly sought after by many pop music fans in today's second-hand market.

After our professional playback tests and condition assessment,we offered Brother Fai a recycling price for his cherished collection that he was very satisfied with. After the transaction,Brother Fai felt relieved and happily said that the money would allow him to purchase a set of classical masterpieces he had long desired.
