In 1988,Dave Wang firmly established his position in the Asian music scene with his second Mandarin album,"Forget You,Forget Me."

For vinyl collectors,this record is not just a medium for sound quality,but also embodies Dave Wang's most iconic "melancholy wanderer" aura.

Why has this vinyl record remained popular in the second-hand market.

1. Boost from Film Culture: The album's title track,"Forget You,Forget Me," and "You Are the Eternal Pain in My Chest," were chosen by director Wong Kar-wai as background music and the ending song for his classic film "As Tears Go By." As Wong Kar-wai's films gained international acclaim,this vinyl also became a coveted item for film enthusiasts.

2. UFO Group's Peak Sound Quality: In the late 1980s,UFO Group was highly meticulous in its production process. Compared to later CD versions,the vinyl version can more perfectly reproduce Dave Wang's husky and penetrating voice. This "analog flavor" is irreplaceable by modern digital music.

3. Cross-Generational Emotional Resonance: Dave Wang's unique musical style,with its themes of loneliness and resilience,resonates even more deeply with a sense of vicissitude when the vinyl needle spins. This is why many young collectors are also seeking out this classic vinyl record.
