[In-depth Analysis] George Lam's "High Time": A Classic of 80 s Cantopop

Released in 1984,"High Time" is one of George Lam's (Ah Lam) most iconic albums. Not only did it achieve astounding sales,but its avant-garde arrangements and Ah Lam's unique vocal prowess also made it a highly valuable "Hong Kong music classic" in the eyes of vinyl collectors.

The reason this record remains consistently popular in the second-hand market lies primarily in its musical diversity,from the powerful title track "High Time" to the tender "Stone Statue," each song represents the golden age of Hong Kong pop music.
