Full item description

For seasoned Hong Kong pop music fans and audiophiles,the 80s and 90s were the golden age of Cantonese songs,as well as a flourishing era for Hong Kong dance music and Remix culture. This Alan Tam - Remix Limited Edition Numbered NO.0884 (SACD) Made in Japan is not just a compilation featuring classic dance tracks like "Karaoke Forever OK" and "Daughter of the Devil"; it also holds significant indicative and collectible value in the second-hand audiophile disc buyback market.

Why are "Made in Japan SACDs" so sought after in the second-hand record market.

Many music lovers often wonder why certain editions fetch such high prices when looking for channels to sell their second-hand audiophile discs at high prices. This album utilizes SACD (Super Audio CD) technology and was manufactured by a renowned Japanese pressing plant. The strict quality control in Japanese pressing (cleanroom level,precise laser etching) ensures an extremely low read error rate for the disc. For enthusiasts pursuing ultimate sound quality,the transparency and sound density of Made in Japan SACD sound quality are unmatched by ordinary Taiwanese or Hong Kong versions of CDs.

Below is a comparison of sound quality and collectible value for different music carriers,helping you understand why this out-of-print disc is so precious:

The Unique Charm of Limited Edition Number "NO.0884"

In the world of record collecting,"limited edition numbering" is one of the core factors determining the collectible value of Alan Tam's Remix album. This album bears the individual number NO.0884,signifying its irreplaceable uniqueness within the global release quantity.

  • Anti-counterfeiting and Value Preservation: The individual numbering ensures transparency of the release quantity,preventing unlimited reprinting later,which significantly boosts its value retention at Hong Kong second-hand CD doorstep buyback stores.
  • Low Number Effect: Generally,the earlier the number (e.g.,within the first 1000),the less wear and tear during master pressing,meaning the audio tracks are theoretically the clearest and most perfect. Therefore,NO.0884 belongs to a very high-quality early pressing batch.
