Complete item notes

The Danny Chan album released in 1981 (featuring "You Are Everything" as its core and including several popular songs from the movie "Jobless Youth") is a significant masterpiece in the history of Hong Kong pop music. This vinyl record not only marked the peak of Danny Chan's musical career,but its tracks such as "Sunflower," "You Are Everything," and "Nian Qin En" also carry the youthful memories of a generation. With the recent rise of the Vinyl Revival,the demand for these first-pressing 1980s Cantopop vinyl records,which bear strong historical significance,is growing in the second-hand audio and record collecting communities.

For seasoned vinyl enthusiasts,the original vinyl record released in conjunction with the movie "Jobless Youth" (starring Danny Chan,Leslie Cheung,and Paul Chung) offers a warmth in vocals and a realistic instrument texture through its analog audio that modern digital music cannot replicate.
