Why "9Box Music" Pays Top Dollar for Sandy Lam White Label Records.

White label vinyl records (sample discs) command high market value primarily due to their professionalism and rarity:

  1. Direct-from-Master Sound Quality: White labels are typically among the first samples pressed from the master,meaning less groove wear and a fidelity to the original studio sound,with delicate highs and rich vocals,superior to later mass-produced commercial editions.
  2. Historical Significance: These records often bear period radio station stamps or handwritten notes,documenting the glorious era when "Tilted" (Tilting) and "Burning",two iconic dance tracks,dominated the charts.
  3. Extremely Limited Quantity: As they were only for promotional use and never circulated commercially,well-preserved white label discs are now exceedingly rare after more than 30 years.

Album Lyrics:

"Tilted" (Tilting)
The wind,it rushes with me in every direction
As if determined to traverse all cities
The wind,it drinks fine wine from the sky with me
And sings aloud,again and again
Paris makes me so enchanted
Champagne seems to spray all around
East and West Berlin are so moving
Yet I still think of that night with you
The tilted rain
You and your infatuation are tilted
Tilting as you kiss me
The tilted mirror
The tilted,hung shirt
Tilting as it peeks at me
How many turns must my legs take
Before they stop wanting to go back to you.
How many nights must my heart pass through
To learn to let you go in loneliness.
Thousands of European passersby on the street
Chattering as if unaware of the night
The handsome men on the street are so passionate
Yet I still long for another night with you
The tilted rain
You and your infatuation are tilted
Tilting as you kiss me
The tilted mirror
The tilted,hung shirt
Tilting as it peeks at me
The tilted rain
You and your infatuation are tilted

Tilting as you kiss me
The tilted mirror
The tilted,hung shirt
Tilting as it peeks at me

Paris makes me so enchanted
Champagne seems to spray all around
East and West Berlin are so moving
Yet I still think of that night with you
The tilted rain
You and your infatuation are tilted
Tilting as you kiss me
The tilted mirror
The tilted,hung shirt
Tilting as it peeks at me
The tilted rain
You and your infatuation are tilted
Tilting as you kiss me
The tilted mirror
The tilted,hung shirt
Tilting as it peeks at me
The tilted rain
You and your infatuation are tilted
Tilting as you kiss me
The tilted mirror
The tilted,hung shirt
Tilting as it peeks at me
