Chyi Yu / Stories - Song Introduction
The song "Stories" describes a girl's yearning for childhood and first love before she decides to end her life. Her monologue is like talking to herself. The melody of this music,with its North American Indian musical flavor,gives a heartbreaking yet beautiful feeling.
Chyi Yu's English albums hold extremely high artistic status in the history of cover songs in the 80s Chinese music scene. With the recent "vinyl revival" craze,the market demand for these out-of-print vinyl records from the 80s has increased. For veteran audiophiles,Chyi Yu's ethereal voice,when restored on analog tracks,exhibits a warmth and acoustic depth unmatched by CD digital media. Therefore,first-edition or well-preserved Taiwan Top 100 Record vinyl records and classic English oldies vinyl records have consistently maintained stable appreciation potential and high buyback potential in the second-hand market.

9Box Music Professional Appraisal: Vinyl Record Condition Grading Standard
As a professional Hong Kong second-hand vinyl buyer,we strictly follow the international Goldmine Standard for physical evaluation,ensuring that every collector receives the fairest and most transparent quote. Vinyl record condition appraisal is primarily based on the following key indicators:
- Near Mint (NM): Record is as good as new,with no obvious scratches; sleeve corners are sharp,no creases,fading,or damage,playback is extremely quiet. Records in this condition receive the highest offers.
- Excellent (EX): Disc surface has only very slight paper scuffs that do not affect sound quality at all; sleeve may have very slight signs of age. The buyback price for old records in this condition is still very considerable.
- Very Good Plus (VG+): Visible slight scratches,playback may have slight surface noise between tracks,but it will not overpower the music itself,suitable for daily listening.
Professional Advice for Collectors: How to Properly Preserve Precious Vinyl records
Good preservation habits can maximize the sound quality and cash value of your records. It is recommended to store vinyl records vertically upright in a well-ventilated,dry place,and absolutely avoid stacking them flat,which can lead to irreversible warping. It is recommended to use professional anti-static inner sleeves instead of the original paper sleeves that can produce debris,and regularly clean dust with a carbon fiber brush.
