But never again to draw the cheers and applause of millions. And like the gown, it may just be a matter of time before Cantopop finds itself relegated to the confines of a museum - to be studied, respected and quietly appreciated. Once the epi-centre of Asian entertainment, Cantonese pop music or Cantopop has now been replaced, by J-Pop, Mandopop and now, K-pop. Mui’s wedding gown is a poetic emblem of Hong Kong’s Cantonese music industry. The gown has become a symbol of her marriage and dedication to the stage. She died shortly after of cervical cancer on Dec 30, 2003. It might seem like a dream come true for any bride, but to lovers of Cantonese pop music, the creation means so much more: It was the gown Anita Mui wore when she sang her last song - The Sunset Song - at the final concert she ever did. The elaborate cream dress, by designer Eddie Lau, comes with a dramatic veil and enormous train. The only time we'll list a record with a cover in this shape is if it's rare or the record is in great shape.Tucked away in the Hong Kong Heritage Museum stands a lone wedding gown on display. All the seams are split, the panels are moldy, major writing all over, etc. We will rarely list a record in this condition.Ĭover - cover is damaged to a point where it is not usable to house a record. Vinyl - will play but will have a lot of issues and have a lot of loud background noise. May have warping but it should not affect play.Ĭover - will have a couple cosmetic issues ring wear, seam splitting, writing on cover, creases, etc and it will be very pronounce. Vinyl - will look VERY played, have lot of marks, scuffs, scratches (possibly deep), play with noticeable maybe even consistent background noise but is still listenable. Could be a couple items (not all) and they should not be major. May have light warping but it should not affect the play.Ĭover - will have noticeable wear such as ring wear, seam splitting, writing on cover, creases, etc. May have light surface noise such as pops, clicks and crackles but it should be occasional and not consistent and not overwhelming. Vinyl - will look played, may have some scuffs and light surface marks / scratches. Vinyl - may have one or two light scuff marks but should play just as well as a NM record.Ĭover - has some very minor cosmetic issue, like a light crease, light ring wear, nothing that is very noticeable. Vinyl - a unsealed record that looks nearly flawless.Ĭover - may have light typical storage wear. Of course since the record is sealed we cannot guarantee there are no pressing flaws or minor warping, and since all the sealed records we sell are out of print, we cannot except returns or exchanges on sealed records that have been opened.

If this is a concern of yours you can contact us and ask us. NOTE: We do not grade or mention the condition of original printed inner sleeves (if the record has them) though we will often picture them if included. Occasionally we'll use a grade range (ie: VG / VG+) for either vinyl or cover if condition is borderline and hard to stick in one category. We encourage you to view all the pictures and read our comments on the conditions, as we find these to be more beneficial than a standard grade. With a partial play grading when deemed nessary. All our regularly priced used vinyl goes through and 10 minute Ultra Sonic cleaning (the best cleaning) and is then graded visually under bright light,
