In the world of second-hand record collecting,"promo copies" have always held a very special status. These records were originally produced by record companies and distributed exclusively to radio DJs,music critics,and media for promotional listening. As such,they were produced in extremely limited quantities and are extremely difficult to find on the market. Isabella Chow's "Tried It,Owned It" promo copy not only carries the memories of Hong Kong pop music from the 80s and 90s but,due to its nature of not being mass-produced for commercial release,often retains the most original and purest sound quality,closest to the master tape. For audiophiles who pursue ultimate sound reproduction,these types of out-of-print CD acquisitions and rare promo vinyl record treasure hunts are important ways to enhance their listening experience.

Used Record and Audio Equipment Recycling FAQs
1. If I have a large collection of used vinyl records and CDs,do you offer on-site recycling assessment. Absolutely. For large collections (e.g.,over a hundred records) or bulky used HiFi audio equipment that is inconvenient to transport,we offer free professional on-site appraisal and cash payment services,saving you the hassle of transportation and ensuring a secure and convenient transaction.
2. How should I properly store used records to maintain their best second-hand value. How to store vinyl records and CDs is a concern for many collectors. We recommend storing records vertically in a cool,dry place,away from direct sunlight and humid environments to prevent mold. Vinyl records should use anti-static inner sleeves,and CDs should avoid scratches on the reading surface. The better the preservation,the higher the price of our professional appraisal of used records.
3. Do you only acquire records by specific artists. Do you still acquire scratched or cover-less out-of-print CDs. We acquire a wide range of music genres,including pop,classical,rock,and jazz. As for records in poorer condition (e.g.,scratched,missing covers),if they are extremely rare out-of-print CDs or historically valuable early recordings,we will still offer a reasonable cash recycling price based on the actual situation.

Tried It,Owned It
Lyrics: Poon Wai Yuen
Composer: Wong Leung Sing
Arranger: Wong Leung Sing
Tried It,Owned It
And once again endured loneliness Oh
Seeing you,I've already guessed
Receiving heartfelt messages through intuition
Who is guilty after intimacy
The spark extinguished,retreating without a word
Fleeting moments of affection
Far better than never having it
More detailed lyrics
No need to worry about how much this love entails
One should assume that after tonight,it's all there is
No need to say a word,you can take away
Not a single shred of lingering love or affection
If you wish to stay
Or to stay a little longer before leaving
Hands released anytime,anywhere
Looking back at the window,it's already bright
