This vinyl LP,issued by PolyGram,remains a top choice for audiophiles and Hi-Fi enthusiasts to test their systems,thanks to its excellent analog recording technology.
For the 80s Cantonese vinyl record resale market,this album,containing many classic songs,has always enjoyed stable demand in the secondary market. Whether it's the early first pressings or well-preserved early pressings,they hold an important position in the Hong Kong used record market trends.
