Alan Tam's "Mistake" Album Introduction
The album cover for "Mistake" has an interesting feature: half of the cover is occupied by a side profile of Alan Tam,but everyone who has seen the cover says this image strongly resembles his old rival,Leslie Cheung. Such an effect was probably entirely unintended by the album producers. The album features a variety of musical styles,all enjoyable,still offering something new and satisfying.

Expert First Pressing Vinyl Identification and Care Tips

Many collectors have this classic album at home,but how do you determine if your copy of "Mistake" has higher appreciation potential.

  1. Look for the first pressing matrix number: The factory number engraved in the run-out groove of the record is the most direct evidence of a first pressing. First pressings often have the best dynamic range and detail because they are closest to the master tape source,making them highly sought after in the top cash prices for audio Hi-Fi and record market.
  2. Pay attention to signs of age on the cover and inner pages: Hong Kong's humid climate makes old records from the 80s prone to "mildew spots." Storing them in a cool,dry place and using anti-static inner sleeves and moisture-proof outer sleeves can effectively preserve the record's value.
  3. Check the playback grooves: Even if the cover is intact,if the previous owner used a severely worn stylus,it can cause irreversible "hidden damage" to the grooves. When we buy back,we use professional equipment to inspect the grooves.
