2. Why does Shirley Yuen's white label vinyl have such high resale value.

Shirley Yuen's "One Cold,One Hot" white label vinyl collection is popular primarily due to the following three aspects:

  • DJ culture imprint: White label records often bear the handwriting or radio station codes of DJs from that era. These "historical traces" hold irreplaceable added value for collectors studying the development of Hong Kong pop music.
  • Musical contribution: Shirley Yuen's sensual vocals and powerful rhythm in "One Cold,One Hot" were a significant part of the Disco culture of the time. Even today,it remains a top choice for testing various vintage audio equipment.
