Complete item notes
As a prized possession among collectors of classic Chinese pop vinyl,George Lam's "A Man of Determination" (theme song from the movie "Once Upon a Time in China") is a representative work among 80s and 90s Cantonese pop vinyl records. Its "white label promotional record" version is also a rare and sought-after item.
A "White Label" record is typically a non-commercial item specially pressed by record companies for radio DJs and media for promotional listening before official release. As these are from the first batch of master pressings,white label vinyl records have minimal groove wear,preserving the most original,transparent,and dynamic sound quality. Coupled with the extremely limited number of copies released back then,the value of the "A Man of Determination" white label vinyl has been continuously increasing in the current Hong Kong second-hand vinyl market,making it the ultimate goal for many Hi-Fi audiophiles and veteran collectors.

How to estimate the buyback price of your George Lam vinyl record.
When buyback old records,in addition to the rarity of the record itself,its "condition" is the most crucial factor in determining the final valuation. Whether it's the preservation state of the cover or the number of scratches on the vinyl surface,both directly affect its market value. To provide you with a clearer understanding of our buyback standards,here are the industry-standard references for assessing the condition of second-hand vinyl records:
We evaluate buyback prices comprehensively based on the international Goldmine grading standard (M/NM/VG+/VG/G),considering the condition of the sleeve,the disc surface,the completeness of accessories,and playback status. Learn more about our detailed grading standards
Professional Tip: White label records,due to their age and their original use for radio station work,often have simple paper sleeves or labels with notes from radio DJs. These are considered normal historical traces. When evaluating such rare promotional vinyl editions,we take these unique historical backgrounds into account to provide the most accurate market-based quote.
