Full item description

In the 1980s Hong Kong pop music scene,George Lam's "1012" (10 Minutes,12 Inches) was undoubtedly a bombshell. This ten-minute-long medley unprecedentedly blended twenty of the hottest Cantonese songs of the era,not only testing the singer's vocal prowess and breath control but also sparking a medley craze throughout the Chinese music world. However,for true audiophiles and top collectors,the common commercial releases are just the beginning; what truly sets hearts racing is the extremely rare George Lam 10 Minutes,12 Inches white label vinyl record.

"White label" or "promo copy" records are typically non-commercial items specially produced and distributed by record companies to radio DJs,music critics,or media outlets for promotional listening before the album's official mass production and release. This gives white label vinyl an irreplaceable collectible value:

  1. Pristine Sound Quality from the Master Lacquer: White label records are usually pressed from the earliest,best-condition master lacquers. This means extremely low wear on the grooves,allowing for the widest dynamic range,richest details,and most authentic live presence. For enthusiasts seeking ultimate auditory pleasure,this is unmatched by any later reissues.
  2. Extreme Rarity,Hard to Find: Because they are intended only for internal and media use,the number of white label records pressed is extremely limited. After all these years,enduring forty years of wear and tear,those that have survived in good condition are exceedingly rare.
  3. Unique Historical Document Value: Some white label records may bear promotional stickers from the record company,handwritten numbers,or DJ annotations,all of which are important historical markers for authenticating 80s Cantonese vinyl records.

Lyrics:

Tonight,tonight it's gonna be explosively warmTonight,tonight it's gonna be explosively warmTonight,tonight it's gonna be explosively warmTonight,tonight it's gonna be explosively warm

How many sights are on the long road ahead,appreciate each one carefullyWhy stop and look back,a feeling of bewilderment in my heartSilently watching the white clouds drift in the sky,just like you and I with aspirations everywhereHope to roam happily with you,hand in hand,venturing into foreign lands

Galaxy,there's a stream of interstellar fireSteer the boat,seeking the constellation OrionSinging,softly echoing with the darknessThe stars weave a love song

Ah ha,I want to fly to the skyAh ha,like that bird soaringAh ha,there's full of hopeAh ha,seeking that warm sun

Faintly passing by,mysterious and beautiful,he's like sudden rainI can't help but look up at you,but you keep your thoughts to yourselfEven if you're silent,I remember it deeplyBecause your gaze mesmerizes my heart,ahShock

You,you,you,you cause me to shakeYou,you,you,you cause me to shake

You once loved me,loved me unconditionallySacrificed your youth to give me gloryThank you today,you changed meSilent devotion,tender love often makes me feel guilty,ahStop this wind,oh babyEmbrace the long night,oh darlingNow this wanderer just wants to lie by your side foreverStop this wind,oh babyEmbrace the long night,oh darlingNow this wanderer just wants to lie by your side foreverTrue love,your true love makes me unable to say sayonara

Thanks,thanks,thanks,thanks Leslie CheungWho can replace your positionThanks,thanks,thanks,thanks,MonicaWho can replace your position

Loving till fever pitchAbout to burst with heat,like being burnedAbout to burst with heat,so hot and urgentAbout to burst with heat,like being burnedAbout to burst with heat,so hot and urgent

Optimistic and carefree,happy-go-lucky,happy-go-luckyLaughing and joking,nobody can stop them,nobody can stop them,nobody can stop themAlways pretending to be confused,pretending to be confused,pretending to be confusedBeing happy is the bestFleeting time passes quickly and vanishesHow much youthful beauty is thereIn short,if you take everything in stride,it doesn't matterNo matter what,be happy to the end

If you want to find your ideal,you must stand on stageChanging your current appearance,you'll eventually be the most renownedCreating an impressive image,is that really a pipe dream. Let me roll and tumble and still receive all kinds of praise

Light plus heat equals fire,fire plus song equals meMe plus song plus you,the temperature will rise even moreSo you should come closer to me,don't lock yourself away anymoreAt this moment,you belong to me,you can no longer hideNo matter what your last name is,no matter what your zodiac sign isAs long as you have ears,I will make you crazyI want to touch you,to touch your heart with songAt this moment,you belong to me,my charm cannot be hiddenI,hey

In martial arts,who is the best in the mundane world is unknownOr perhaps,ultimate moves follow different pathsBut I know,when it comes to love,no one is betterIn my heart,you are always the best in the world

Chasing and rushing in the wind and sand,singing passionately togetherCarefree,falling and drinking,faces filled with joyRunning and romping on the sand dunes,strong as horses and oxenMajestic on horseback,open-mindedI cheer loudly,I am warmth and light

Ali Ali Baba Ali Baba carefully follows the banditsAli Ali Baba Ali Baba bravely follows the banditsOpen Sesame,Open Sesame,Understood,UnderstoodOpen Sesame,Open Sesame

Sam Sam Sam,be my friendFriend friend friend,better than you playing in a band

Quietly pushing through the heavy fog,seeking my pathHope to luckily meet your footsteps on the roadI want to see you again,just to reveal my innermost feelingsLove,love,love,adorationSilently watching the road marked with signsSeemingly chaotic yet specifically pointing my wayBumping around,looking everywhere,only realizing my foolishness upon falling into a trapMy heart is truly captivated,as if ensnared,exploring this path of loveYour beauty has already intoxicated me

I cry out,I'm empty,empty,bitterly heartbroken for herKnowing the outcome,why become a plaything. I cry out,I'm empty,empty,angrily proclaiming she's wrongHolding back tears

My heart surgesThis trap,this trap,this trap
