Full item description

Alan Tam was highly representative in the Chinese music scene of the 1980s. This "LORELEI" 7-inch vinyl single (also known as a mini-album) is a classic product from that golden era. As a popular hit with a strong European dance music style,"LORELEI" was not only a sensation back then,but it is still highly sought after by seasoned music lovers and vinyl collectors in today's second-hand vinyl record market.

For many collectors looking for appraisals of out-of-print vinyl records,7-inch single vinyl records often hold a more unique collecting significance than regular 12-inch LPs due to their limited release and preservation difficulty. Well-preserved early mini-albums by Principal Tam are important physical music carriers that witnessed the peak of Hong Kong pop music.
