Boost from Film Culture: The album's title track,"Forget You,Forget Me," and "You Are the Eternal Pain in My Chest," were chosen by director Wong Kar-wai as background music and the ending song for his classic film "As Tears Go By." As Wong Kar-wai's films gained international acclaim,this vinyl also became a coveted item for film enthusiasts.
2. UFO Group's Peak Sound Quality: In the late 1980s,UFO Group was highly meticulous in its production process. Compared to later CD versions,the vinyl version can more perfectly reproduce Dave Wang's husky and penetrating voice. This "analog flavor" is irreplaceable by modern digital music.
