How to Identify Jenny Tseng's "Charming May" 1984 First Pressing Vinyl

For experienced record collectors,distinguishing between the 1984 first pressing vinyl and later reissued versions is crucial for valuation. 9Box Music has a professional appraisal team to help clients accurately determine the historical value of records.

  1. Record Label: Look for the 1984 CBS/Sony logo design and record number CBA 129.
  2. Matrix Number in Inner Groove: The hand-etched or machine-stamped number in the inner groove of the record is its "identity card" for determining the pressing batch.
  3. Sound Quality: The first pressing,directly cut from analog master tapes,offers rich and layered sound,with vocal transparency that later digitally remastered versions cannot match.
