Exploring a Treasure from the 80s Hong Kong Music Scene: Sally Yeh's "I Want to Live" White Label Vinyl Record

For seasoned music lovers passionate about collecting and recycling classic 80s Hong Kong vinyl records,Sally Yeh's iconic song "I Want to Live" is not just a popular Cantonese hit. Its radio promotional white label vinyl record is also a highly sought-after audiophile rarity. Compared to the commonly available official release,white label records often hold greater significance and investment potential in the second-hand HiFi audiophile vinyl record market.

Many people overlook the special nature of white label records when recycling old records. These records were initially produced exclusively for radio DJs for chart ranking or for media promotion,and were not released for public sale. Since they typically belong to the "first pressing of the first pressing" (i.e.,the earliest batch pressed from the master),their grooves experience the least wear,preserving the most original and rich musical details,making them a top target for collecting out-of-print Cantonese vinyl records.

Album Tracklist:

I Want to Live
Lyrics: Richard Lam
Composer: Bindi/Pasli/Sigman
Arranger: Chrisbabida

I vow never to feel sorry for myself day or night,and never to ask whose fault it is again.
No need to shed another useless tear,saving strength to bear endless emptiness.
You have already rushed into someone else's arms,in your heart I am utterly trivial.
Yet for this pained heart,however painful,I must live on.
I vow never to cry for your departure again,determined to calmly face the emptiness.
Whether I cry or not,my heart is more shattered than rain in the wind.

This heart felt joyous because of you,but shattered because of your departure.
I shed thousands of useless tears for you,yet still couldn't wash away the pile of past events.
You have already rushed into someone else's arms,in your heart I am utterly trivial.
Yet for this pained heart,however painful,I must live on.
I vow never to cry for your departure again,determined to calmly face the emptiness.
Whether I cry or not,my heart is even more shattered than rain in the wind.
Since you left,my heart is shattered.

Value of vinyl

The same vinyl record released in different years not only has different disc cores, but also different record thickness, width and depth of the grooves, and order, so the sound will naturally be different.
