Why has this record consistently maintained a top cash in the secondhand market.
In the used record buyback market,Teresa Teng's early records (especially early 1970s versions) have consistently been the most stable category for appreciation. This is mainly due to:
- Scarcity: Early records had limited production,and over the past few decades,many vinyl records have been damaged due to improper storage (humidity,scratches,moldy sleeves). It is extremely difficult to find "Sad Dream" in excellent condition.
- Historical Significance: This album features many lyrical masterpieces reflecting the social emotions of the time,serving as important documentation for studying the development of Chinese pop music.
- Preferred for Audio Testing: Many audiophiles believe that Teresa Teng's early recordings are best for testing an audio system's ability to reproduce female alto vocals,which has also driven up the secondhand vinyl record market prices.

"Sad Dream" Lyrics:
Deep longing,hard to take back in an instant
Tears blur all reality
The wind keeps blowing,where are you.
Time doesn't stop,years don't wait for people
Rain soaks the corners of my heart
I wander alone in the empty night
I miss you so much,wishing you were by my side
Holding your hand,walking towards the future
A sad dream,it should awaken
Let the soul breathe freely
The path of life is not always smooth
Let's wipe away tears a few times and keep moving forward
Leaving me alone to taste
Cup after cup of lonely wine
The wind keeps blowing,where are you.
Time doesn't stop,years don't wait for people
A sad dream,it should awaken
Let the soul breathe freely
The path of life is not always smooth
Let's wipe away tears a few times and keep moving forward
