Song Introduction
Released by Polydor in 1982,it is the theme song for the TVB drama of the same name. The music was composed by the late French light music master Paul Mauriat.

1982 was a golden era for the intersection of Hong Kong pop music and television dramas. Anna Karina's "Chih Ching Chieh" (Obsessive Love) was itself a household theme song for a TVB drama,and the arrangement by the late French light music master Paul Mauriat further solidified this album's unique artistic status in the history of Chinese pop music.
For seasoned audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts,this early Polydor-pressed vinyl,with its fully analog recording,preserves a warm vocal presence and expansive orchestral dynamics that modern digital audio files cannot accurately reproduce. With the continuous surge in the market for 80s Cantopop Vinyl Record Buyback in recent years,the collection value of these out-of-print vinyl records,which possess historical significance and high-fidelity sound quality,is steadily rising,making them a popular treasure hunt target in the Hong Kong used vinyl market.
Professional Appraisal: Key Factors Influencing the Valuation of "Chih Ching Chieh" Used Records
When appraising Anna Karina's used records,in addition to the release year,the physical condition of the record and version details are core determinants of its buyback price. With years of industry experience,9Box Music has summarized the following professional appraisal standards:
- First Pressing Characteristics (Matrix Number): The inner groove etchings of early Polydor records (the blank space between the record label and the grooves) conceal pressing plant and batch information. First pressings,due to minimal master disc wear,offer the clearest sound quality,and their buyback price is significantly higher than later reissues or re-pressings.
- Completeness of Accessories (Complete In Box): Vinyl records from the 80s typically came with original lyric sheets,promotional posters,or obi strips (if any). Complete accessories without graffiti or water stains can significantly improve the overall rating of the record.
- Condition of Sleeve and Label: Whether the edges of the original sleeve are stiff,if there are obvious ring wear marks,and if there are spindle marks around the center hole of the label are all professional indicators for evaluating the record's playback frequency.
