Long-term Collector Knowledge about "What You Want in Life"
- Why is the T113 version more valuable. The early T113-01 pressings,manufactured by Goldstar in Korea,are considered by audiophiles to be the closest to the master tape in sound quality due to their silver ring technology and molding precision,making them a hot item in the second-hand CD market.
- The Value of Vinyl Sleeves: The cover photography of "What You Want in Life" is highly artistic. If the sleeve has sharp corners,no fading,and no damp smell,its collector's value will be several times higher than that of a damaged item.
- Cassette (Tape) buyback Trends: In recent years,with the return of retro trends,well-preserved original "What You Want in Life" cassettes are also gaining favor among young collectors. If you have cassettes with complete clear cases,please contact us.
