In the secondary market for vinyl records,white label / promo copy records have always held an extremely high status. These records were originally specially pressed by record companies and distributed to radio DJs,media,or music critics for promotional listening purposes,and were not intended for public sale. Because white label records are usually among the earliest pressings (First Pressing),with minimal wear on the master plate,their audio dynamics and sound quality are often fuller and more detailed than later mass-produced retail versions.
For seasoned audiophiles searching for Sam Hui's out-of-print vinyl records,the white label promotional disc of "Made In Hong Kong" not only represents a classic memory of Hong Kong pop music,but its extremely rare existence also makes it a highly sought-after item in the market for high-priced recycled used vinyl records. If you possess such a precious promotional record not for sale,its market potential should definitely not be underestimated.
"Made In Hong Kong" White Label Promo vs. Standard Release: Value Comparison
| Comparison Item | White Label Promotional Record (Promo / White Label) | Standard Release |
| Purpose of Release | For radio airplay,media listening (not for sale) | Public sale to the mass market |
| Pressing Order | First pressing,master plate in optimal condition | Later mass pressings,possibly multiple reissues |
| Sound Quality | Wide dynamic range,high sound density,most accurate detail reproduction | Standard sound quality,but may have slight degradation with increased pressing numbers |
| Quantity in Existence | Extremely rare (usually only a few hundred copies,highly scarce) | Large quantity,high circulation in the market |
| Sleeve and Label | Often a minimalist white label with black text,or printed with "Promotional Use Only" | Full-color printed cover and commercial record label |
| Second-hand Resale Price | Extremely High (significant investment and appreciation potential for vinyl collectors) | Relatively stable,depending on condition |

Album Tracklist:
Made In Hong Kong
Sam Hui
Lyrics: Kit-ling Composed by: Mamoru Taniguchi
Barbecuing in Sai Kung,playing with seafood,so fun,renting a sampan to catch a few catties of sand
Strolling on The Peak,beautiful scenery,having a rich dinner with you
From North Point to Shau Kei Wan in just a few seconds,driving to Repulse Bay,which is as vast as the sky and sea
Fast roads lead everywhere,all "Made In Hong Kong"
Australia,wild grass everywhere,rude Westerners with curly hair
America and Canada,shopping is so far,most afraid of being jobless
Hong Kong is good,the Pearl of the Orient,unparalleled in the world,Hong Kong is good,you and I are proud
Hong Kong is good,construction everywhere,promising future,weathered storms without stopping,creating a better future together
Kung Kow Kee roast goose is so good,sizzling chicken pot,over there are high-class hotels with beautiful rooms for rent
Westerners say shopping is great,picking a beautiful Chinese earthenware pot
Everything is here,most exciting is watching shows,calling a few close friends for a few rounds of mahjong
Singing anything in KTV,taking Ah Ann to Tsim Sha Tsui East again
Australia,wild grass everywhere,rude Westerners with curly hair
America and Canada,shopping is so far,most afraid of being jobless
Hong Kong is good,the Pearl of the Orient,unparalleled in the world,Hong Kong is good,you and I are proud
Hong Kong is good,construction everywhere,promising future,weathered storms without stopping,creating a better future together
Hong Kong is good,the Pearl of the Orient,unparalleled in the world,Hong Kong is good,you and I are proud
Hong Kong is good,construction everywhere,promising future,weathered storms without stopping,creating a better future together
