Why is this vinyl worth a higher resale price.

When assessing Jacky Cheung second-hand vinyl buyback s,9Box Music conducts a professional appraisal based on the following "long-tail value-added factors":

  1. Audiophile-grade sound quality of "Li Xiang Lan": The string intro and Jacky Cheung's vocal delivery in "Li Xiang Lan" on vinyl exhibit an ethereal quality that digital audio cannot match. If your record grooves show minimal wear and no noticeable "crackle," the resale price will be significantly higher than that of average condition records.
  2. First pressing identification by matrix number: First-pressing vinyl records released in 1990 (as opposed to later reissues) hold a high status among collectors. We verify whether it is pressed from the original master tape based on the matrix number in the runout groove.
  3. Completeness of cover and inner sleeve: The album cover design is imbued with a melancholic artistry. If the cover corners are free from bumps,mold (foxing),and the lyric booklet text is clear and unstuck,this is a significant bonus for the second-hand vinyl market price.
