Complete item notes

For seasoned Hong Kong pop music collectors and vinyl enthusiasts,the estimated value of Sam Hui's out-of-print vinyl records has always remained high in the second-hand market. Among them,"Never Give Up," a classic masterpiece penned by Siu-mei and composed by Sam Hui himself,has a "White Label" vinyl record that is an exceptionally rare find. It not only represents the golden age of Cantonese songs in the 1980s but also possesses extremely high value as a musical document and for historical research.

What is a "White Label" vinyl record. Why does it have such a high resale value.

Many newcomers to vinyl might wonder why a White Label pressing of the same song is worth far more than a regular commercial release. "White Label records" are typically the first promotional copies (Promo Copies) pressed by record companies specifically for radio DJs,music critics,media,or internal executives for listening and promotion before an album's official mass production and release.

  • Ultimate Sound Quality (Audiophile Grade): White Label records are usually among the very first batches (First Pressing) pressed from the master. At this stage,the pressing molds are in their most perfect condition,resulting in vinyl grooves with the richest details,widest dynamic range,and purest sound quality. This makes them the ultimate goal for Hi-Fi audiophiles pursuing extreme sound.
  • Extremely Limited Quantity (Out-of-Print Collectible): Due to their internal promotional purpose,White Label records have very small press runs,typically ranging from a few tens to a few hundreds. After decades,those that have been preserved in good condition are exceedingly rare.
  • Unique Historical Mark: The labels of White Label records are typically pure white or printed with phrases like "Not For Sale" or "Promotional Use." Some may even include promotional texts from the record company at the time or DJ's playback notes,which makes the collectible value of White Label vinyl records far exceed their music itself,becoming a testament to an era.

Therefore,if you possess this "Never Give Up" White Label pressing,9Box Music promises to provide you with the most competitive second-hand Hong Kong Vinyl Record Buyback price with the utmost professionalism.

Lyrics:

Never Give Up

Lyrics: Siu-mei
Composer: Sam Hui
Arranger: Bobby Da
Producer: Alvin Leong

In the night wind,a silent pain stirs
Every day since you left feels like winter
People leave,always explaining their hardships
I let you go gracefully,pretending to be calm

In my heart,the pain still lingers faintly
The old dream in my heart hasn't faded
I once embraced you warmly in the wind
Clinging close,gazing at the night sky,laughing in the spring breeze

Who would know that in the dark,I couldn't sleep,thinking of the past
I only know that missing you always intoxicates me
Who understands my heart,torn by memories
With hopeless eyes,I chase in the wind*

I shouldn't recall you again
I try my best not to think that the dream is dead
Forgetting you,but it's a wasted effort
Once night falls,I still miss you
My heart refuses to give up

Who would know that in the dark,it's hard to dream,as if I've lost control
This heart seems to be manipulated by you again and again
Who understands my heart,permeated with extreme cold
Every night I miss your fleeting presence

My heart refuses to give up
My heart refuses to give up
