Complete item notes

Paula Tsui,a legendary figure in the Hong Kong music scene,released this album "New Songs and Selections" during her time at Contec Records. It was a guaranteed bestseller back then and is now a treasure in the eyes of vinyl collectors. This album features well-known classics such as "Season of the Wind," "Helpless," and "Long Road Ahead," showcasing her unique deep,magnetic voice.

Why is this vinyl record worth a top cash.

  1. Exceptional Master Tape Recording Quality: Contec Records' recording techniques back then were known for their meticulousness,especially in capturing Paula Tsui's mid-to-low frequencies. When played on a high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) sound system,the layering far surpasses digital formats.
  2. Historical Significance: The 1980s was the golden era of Hong Kong pop music. This compilation album fully documents Paula Tsui's peak transition from traditional folk tunes to contemporary pop songs.
  3. Rarity and Condition: Although a large number were issued at the time,after more than 40 years,original pressings that remain in sleeves without foxing,discs without scratches,and with original lyric inserts are now rare.

How to determine if your old record qualifies for "top cash appraisal".

When appraising vinyl records,we don't just look at the artist's fame. We focus more on the following "long-tail details," which is where 9Box Music demonstrates its professionalism:

  • Matrix Number: The etching in the circular area in the center of the vinyl disc,which can determine if it's a first pressing. First pressings,being closest to the master tape,have the widest soundstage and usually command the highest buyback price.
  • Physical Condition Grading: We refer to the international Goldmine standards. If your record reaches NM (Near Mint) or M (Mint) grade,meaning the disc surface is shiny like new and free of crackling sounds,we will offer a high cash buyback far exceeding the market average.
  • Storage Environment: If the record has been stored in a dry,cool place without severe warping,its musical fidelity will be the most perfect.
