We Buy Teresa Teng vinyl records: Kolin Edition "Love in a Small Village" - A Predestined Fate - Following the Rainbow Teresa Teng albums - High-price purchase

"Love in a Small Village - Predestined Love" is Teresa Teng's second album released in 1977 by Kolin Records. The album cover design is unique, filled with a strong Taiwanese local flavor. The album includes the exclusive Kolin Records song "Following the Rainbow," a classic originally sung by Fong Fei-fei that Teresa Teng covered.

The Kolin version of the record was not a mixed recording imported from PolyGram. As a Taiwanese distributor sharing master tapes with PolyGram, Kolin not only possessed some exclusive recordings that PolyGram did not have but also presented different sound characteristics. For Teresa Teng's PolyGram recordings, Kolin utilized the separate vocal and instrumental tracks of the master tape to create its own mixes. In its vinyl pressings, the vocals are more prominent than the accompaniment, and the soundstage differs significantly from PolyGram's. This raw, unprocessed vocal paired with the accompaniment allows listeners to hear Teresa Teng's most authentic voice.

The track "Following the Rainbow" on the album is Kolin's exclusive recording, recorded by Teresa Teng in Taiwan. In 1977, the TV special "Teresa Teng Time" on Taiwan Television Company used this very recording to film its music video. When recording this song, Teresa Teng directly used Fong Fei-fei's original accompaniment, without making any changes to the melody or rhythm. This is a very rare and excellent work interpreted by two late heavenly queens.
