- Cultural Significance: The album's title track is an adaptation of a poem by Li Shangyin,a classic example of combining classical literature with pop music. This makes the record not only a musical medium but also a cultural collectible.
- Condition Preservation: As most records from the 80s show wear,if your copy of "Farewell Is Hard" has a cover free of moisture damage or tears,and the disc surface has no significant scratches (NM/MINT grade),its resale value will significantly increase.
