Why do "white label records" have extremely high second-hand resale value.
Many customers often ask why "white label" records,while still vinyl records,typically command a much higher purchase price than regular versions. White label records (Promo Copy) are usually specially produced by record companies and distributed to radio DJs,media,or music critics for audition and promotion purposes before an album's official release. These records possess several key characteristics that drive up their second-hand vinyl collection value:
| Comparison Item | White Label Record (Promotional Item,Not for Sale) | General Retail Vinyl Record |
| Release Quantity | Extremely rare (usually only dozens to hundreds of copies) | Mass-produced (thousands to tens of thousands or more) |
| Sound Quality | Excellent (often pressed from first-generation master,deepest and clearest grooves) | Good to average (slight sound degradation possible with increased pressings) |
| Appearance | Plain white label,handwritten text,or marked "For Promotional Use / Not For Sale" | Color printed label,standard commercial packaging |
| Second-hand Collection Value | Extremely High (highly sought after by veteran audiophiles and perfectionist collectors) | Depends on the artist,album popularity,and record condition |

Lyrics:
Baby,stay by my side
See you pretend to be busy again
Who once declared
We'd share both sweetness and bitterness
Yesterday,you were to me
A glimmer of dawn in the deep darkness
Can we hold hands and break through a thousand waves
Baby,hidden in my heart
Is a broken story
My heart only wishes this love could continue
It can flash in my pain
A glimmer of dawn in the deep darkness
Can we hold hands and break through a thousand waves
You said sorry,tears were secretly flowing
On the long journey,I am left to brave it alone
You said one must endure life's ups and downs
Wandering on a long road,pain lies in my heart
Oh baby,the future is only despair
This world has become too dark
An empty heart
Like a night voyage in the deep darkness
Don't know where to go,don't know which direction
A glimmer of dawn lost in the deep darkness
Can we hold hands and break through a thousand waves
A glimmer of dawn lost in the deep darkness
Can we once again break through a thousand waves together
Igniting a glimmer of dawn
Can we,can we break through the obstacles together and illuminate me
