We Buy Retrieving Anita Mui feels like meeting an old friend (white version)

For seasoned vinyl collectors, "promo / white label" records have always held an irresistible charm. Back in the day, record companies would press a very small number of white label records exclusively for radio DJs or media playback for promotional purposes. These records were not mass-produced commercially, and the mastering mother disc experienced minimal wear during pressing, thus their sound quality often came closest to the original master tape, preserving the purest and most dynamically rich analog sound.

Anita Mui's "Likely an Old Friend" is an enduring classic, and the surviving quantity of its white label promotional record is extremely rare. This makes its collection value in the Hong Kong out-of-print vinyl record market far exceed that of regular retail versions, making it a treasured find for many audiophiles.

Classic Revisit: The Perfect Interplay of Lo Ta-yu and Albert Leung

"Likely an Old Friend" is not only one of Anita Mui's signature songs but also a legendary collaboration in the history of Hong Kong pop music. Composed by Lo Ta-yu and penned by Albert Leung (Lin Xi), this song served as the theme song for the movie "Twin Bracelets" and won Best Original Film Song at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards.

The song's profound, yet gracefully melancholic understanding of life is perfectly conveyed through Anita Mui's unique mezzo-soprano and deep vocal delivery. If you happen to possess this 80s/90s Cantonese pop vinyl record, you own a piece of high-quality music and a historical testament to the golden age of Hong Kong pop music.

Lyrics: Lyricist: Albert Leung Composer: Lo Ta-yu

Both passers-by, both dreamt a dream
Should have been a pair
In youth, unaware in dreams
Awakening to depart
Three meals and a roof, sharing a pair
Who will it ultimately be
Whatever was not obtained
Whatever has passed
Is always the most perfect match
You watch from below, I perform above
The play you wish to see
An old friend from a past life, you who are free from sorrow
Do you still remember
Joy and sorrow, old age and illness, life and death
Not quite a legend
Hate that on stage, "darling"
Or below, "sweetheart"
It's not you and me
The mundane world vast
Heaven's will boundless
Separating you and me
Heartbreaking words dotted
Rain and wind continuous
Likely an old friend has come
When will we meet again, where will we reunite
To say tonight is truly warm
No destiny, yet fated, memories endless
But life is short
One kind of longing, two bitter loves
Half a lifetime of untold stories
In the abyss of years
Gazing at the distant bright moon
Imagining your melancholy
The mundane world vast
Heaven's will boundless
Separating you and me
Heartbreaking words dotted
Rain and wind continuous
Likely an old friend has come
Leaving you or leaving me
To grow old in this world
Before parting
Unknown how good it was to be together then
To hold your hand
Yet to part ways
Love, existing or not
Together after ten years
Together after ten thousand years
Only regret not seeing
Together after ten years
Together after ten thousand years
Only regret not seeing
