A Timeless Farewell and Cherished Collectible: Sam Hui's "Hong Kong Reminiscence '90" and its Profound Cultural Value

Back in the early 1990s,Hong Kong was at a crossroads of emigration and societal change. Sam Hui's "Hong Kong Reminiscence '90," released that year,was not only a landmark work in popular music but also a musical documentary of society. The album not only carried the street wisdom familiar to Hong Kong people but also revealed the "God of Songs'" deep affection for this land.

Songs like "Together As One" urged Hongkongers to unite in the face of the unknown,while "Retire in Glory" subtly hinted at his mindset when he announced his glorious retirement in 1992. These works were not only widely known at the time but have now become a cherished memory of an era,highly sought after by experienced music fans and collectors in the 90s Cantonese music used record buyback market. The album's lyrics and music are highly unified,perfectly showcasing Sam's musical prowess as the "Grandmaster of Hong Kong Pop Music."

A Legend in the Eyes of Audiophiles: Why is the "T113 01 Silver Ring Edition" so sought after.

In the second-hand physical record market,the resale price of Sam Hui's out-of-print CDs often depends on the pressing version. The "T113 01 Silver" in your hands has extremely high demand and high potential for resale primarily due to the following professionalappraisal features:

  • Korean T113 Pressing Technology: "T113" refers to CDs pressed by the Korean SKC factory at the time. In the early days,when the Hong Kong record industry pursued top-tier sound quality,they often commissioned Korean or Japanese factories to press their CDs. The T113 version is renowned for its high sound density,expansive soundstage,and warm,true-to-life vocals,making it a popular choice for top cashd buyback of second-hand audiophile CDs.
  • 01 First Pressing Matrix: "01" typically denotes the first batch of an album's pressing (First Pressing). With minimal master disc wear,it can authentically reproduce the master tape details from the recording studio,offering a dynamic range and high/low frequency extension far superior to later reissued CDs.
  • Silver Ring Edition Feature: A "silver ring" refers to a CD where the data layer around the center hole extends all the way to the innermost ring,without a transparent plastic edge. This early manufacturing process was more costly but effectively improved the stability of laser disc players in reading signals. The T113 01 Silver Ring Edition feature signifies that it is a rare and precious first-batch item,produced using early high-standard manufacturing.
