Many seasoned vinyl collectors are looking for rare versions of George Lam's vinyl record "A Dream Like Illusion". Among these,the "White Label" (Promo Copy / White Label) is a highly sought-after and rare treasure. White label records are typically promotional master copies specially pressed by record companies for radio DJs,media,or music critics to preview before official public release.
Because they are pressed from the earliest master tapes (possessing the purest characteristics of first-press vinyl),white label records retain the most complete audio track details,offer a wide dynamic range,and present vocals with athree-dimensional and realistic image. In the eyes of many Hi-Fi enthusiasts,it's not just a pop album,but also a top-tier audiophile test disc for pushing audio equipment to its limits. "A Dream Like Illusion" is an emotionally delicate and richly layered classic. Played on a white label vinyl,it can perfectly showcase George Lam's powerful and captivating husky voice.

Lyrics:
Love always has flaws,deep love always leads to separation
Fate loves to play tricks,who can escape it.
Time makes mistakes repeatedly,legends appear repeatedly in the sea of humanity
Gathering and parting,love is like a dreamlike illusion
If I could choose,could everything pause.
Let me redefine this love
Who forced me to be indifferent,who stirred my resonance.
Unable to clearly see this strong affection at this moment
Facing going or staying,how to decide in bewilderment.
Why am I passionately in love with you,whom I shouldn't love.
I once tried my best to be with you
But couldn't escape this storm
Drying all tears to perform a momentary legend
In the years,love continues to wander
Facing going or staying,how to decide in bewilderment.
Why am I passionately in love with you,whom I shouldn't love.
I once tried my best to be with you
But couldn't escape this storm
If I could choose,could everything pause.
Let me redefine this love
Who forced me to be indifferent,who stirred my resonance.
Unable to clearly see this strong affection at this moment
Sweet or bitter,love is like a dreamlike illusion
