Complete item notes
"New Beginning" is a pivotal physical album in the musical career of the "God of Songs," Sam Hui,and it holds a collective memory for countless fans of the golden era of 1980 s Hong Kong pop music. From the inspiring title track to the emotionally delicate "Father's Piano" and "The Stealer of Hearts," this work demonstrates exceptional lyrical and compositional artistry and resonance with the times. For avid collectors of 80 s Cantopop records and music historians,this is an indispensable piece of the popular culture puzzle.
Among the many released versions,the early Japanese pressed (Japanese version) CD has consistently been regarded as an absolute guarantee of "audiophile-grade sound quality" in high-end audio circles. The Japanese first pressing of "New Beginning," catalog number 0965,utilized the most advanced mastering technology in Asia at the time,as well as high-purity polycarbonate translucent material.
Its sound density,the completeness of its dynamic range,and the quietness of its background perfectly reproduce the original details of the recording studio. This is why when we conduct high-value buyback s of out-of-print used CDs,we specifically prioritize this version. It not only has strong anti-oxidation properties and a long preservation life but is also an extremely rare and highly sought-after item in the current market for audiophile CD valuations.
To he lp collectors better understand the value of their records,here is a professional comparison,which is the core standard for determining the buyback price of Sam Hui's Japanese CDs:
| Evaluation Metric | "New Beginning" Japanese First Press (Catalog No.: 0965) | General Hong Kong Version / Later Reissue |
| Soundstage and Sound Quality Performance | Clear vocal imaging,excellent three-dimensionality,extremely low background noise,suitable for high-end Hi Fi systems. | Sound is relatively flat,high-frequency extension is slightly harsh,and dynamic range feels compressed. |
| Pressing Material Technology | High-precision Japanese injection molding,extremely high CD transparency,strong scratch and oxidation resistance. | Uses standard industrial pressing,long-term storage is prone to reduced transparency or edge oxidation (silver rot). |
| Packaging and Printing Details | High-grammage lyric booklet paper,good ink color saturation,usually comes with an exclusive Japanese obi strip. | Printing colors are more ordinary,and font edge sharpness is slightly inferior to the first press. |
| Market Rarity and Appreciation Potential | Out of print for many years,extremely low market circulation,a top target for high-value cash buyback s,with stable appreciation potential. | Larger existing quantity,easy to acquire,stable market price fluctuations,primarily valued for listening. |
