"Hong Kong Reminiscence '90": A Classic Swan Song and Profound Collection Value Amidst Changing Times

Entering the 1990s,Hong Kong society was in a period of great change and introspection. Sam Hui,the "God of Songs," profoundly depicted the mindset of Hongkongers and the social landscape of the time with his album "Hong Kong Reminiscence '90". The album is not just a pop music record,but also a condensed history of Hong Kong's pop culture. From the encouragement of "Together We Sail" to the local identity of "Made in Hong Kong",each track carries the collective memories of a generation. For audiophiles collecting old CDs,the early first pressings of this album have long transcended mere listening value,becoming a historical collectible of Hong Kong pop music with immense historical significance.

Why is the "Clear Inner Ring T113-01" version highly sought after by seasoned audio enthusiasts.

Among countless used CDs,identifying early CD versions is crucial in determining their market value. The "Clear Inner Ring T11301" mentioned in the title is precisely a legendary version among many.

In the late 1980s to early 1990s,local record pressing plants in Hong Kong had limited production capacity. Many high-spec audiophile-grade records were outsourced to top pressing plants in Japan or Korea. Matrix numbers containing "T113" usually indicate early batches pressed by the Korean SKC factory,while "01" signifies that it was pressed from the first stamper,making it a T11301 clear inner ring first pressing.

  • Ultimate Sound Density: The first stamper has minimal wear and tear,retaining the richest details from the studio master tape. Compared to later reissues,the "Clear Inner Ring T11301" version offers more three-dimensional vocal imaging,strong bass elasticity,and an irreplaceable "analog sound" in its overall tonality.
  • Unique Physical Characteristics: The inner ring of the disc is transparent with no metal plating (i.e.,a clear inner ring). This characteristic,combined with the T113-01 matrix code,is a recognized "guarantee of value" in the top cash prices market for old records.
