Full item description
"Chung Jue" (Decisions),released by EMI in 1979,was not only a significant turning point in George Lam's (Ah Lam) musical career but also a precious snapshot of the early development of Cantonese pop music in Hong Kong. This album features several classic masterpieces created by the "Fai-Wong" golden duo (Joseph Koo and James Wong) and other masters like Cheng Kwok-kong. The eponymous theme song for the TVB drama "Chung Jue" was widely popular at the time,solidifying George Lam's superstar status in the Hong Kong music scene.
For today's vinyl enthusiasts and audiophiles,the first pressing of "Chung Jue" holds immense analog listening value. EMI's early pressing techniques preserved the unique and powerful vocal details of George Lam,with his rich bass and incredibly live-sounding treble,which later CD or digitally remastered versions cannot fully replicate. Therefore,there has always been a stable demand for 1979 out-of-print vinyl records and early Cantonese pop vinyl in the second-hand market.

How to Identify High-Value "Chung Jue" First Pressing Records. Professional Appraisal Guide
Many music lovers may have reissued records from different periods at home. As a professional second-hand audio and vinyl trading platform,9Box Music values the history and version of records. You can conduct a preliminary check of your collection using the following points:
- EMI Centre Label: Observe the circular label in the center of the vinyl record. The 1979 first pressing typically features the specific EMI logo design and typography of that era,with colors different from later reissues.
- Run-out Groove Matrix Number: For genuine first pressings,the blank run-out groove after the music will have a specific master pressing number etched into it. This is crucial evidence in record coding authentication to confirm whether it is a "first press,first cut."
- Original Accessories: If the lyric sheets,promotional flyers,or posters that came with the record can be fully preserved,it will significantly increase the overall value of this George Lam first pressing record for buyback.
