Requesting Jay Chou’s various out-of-print albums

First of all, as a Jay fan, I am very willing to help answer your questions. I don’t care whether I give you points or not.

"Lovely Woman" does not seem to have an EP. The information shows that it only has a master tape. Even if it is published, it is only a Taiwanese version. And considering the situation at the time, the circulation must be very small. So don’t be too pushy about this.

As for the single product "Lovely Woman", it was included in Jay's first album "Jay". This album has actually been republished many times by mainland publishers. Because Jay has continued to be popular for a long time, all ten of Jay's albums have been reprinted repeatedly, so you can buy genuine copies of each album. (Actually, this is rare in the domestic recording industry. Other singers may only have one or two compilations or commemorative editions of deceased singers that have been reprinted many times.) Specifically, you can purchase them on regular shopping malls such as Joyo and Dangdang.com.

Of course, it is almost impossible to buy the first edition now, unless someone else is willing to resell it, especially the "JAY" one. The reason is self-evident, this is the so-called out-of-print. By the way, Jay himself may have one, haha. Because he just debuted, he went to the video store and bought one to support it and keep it as a souvenir. He probably didn’t have the first edition of each of his subsequent albums, but his friends may have them. .

If God’s blessing can help you get the first version of "Fantasy", then the collection is of even greater significance. This album is not only Jay’s favorite, but also Jay’s first As a newcomer, he won 5 Golden Melody Awards in a row and broke the historical record of Golden Melody at that time! It witnessed the mainstream music scene at that time opening its arms to accept Jay Chou, a major feat, and also made great achievements for Jay Chou's subsequent rise and even became a popular leader today. It was "Fantasy" that really made Jay Chou emerge from the sky, and he was It was a heroic gesture that still shocks the music world to this day. (Until 2010, Zhang Huimei broke the record by winning 6 awards in a row. Of course, this was also because Jay had not released a film in 2009 and had no time to sign up. Zhang Huimei had no competitors.) The "Fantasy" spirit is still happening to Jay in a series of events. Interesting phenomena, for example, the trendy store brand he opened is called "phantaci", which is pronounced the same as "fantasy"; the name of his first personal fan club is "Fantasy Show"; many years later, he released the album "Still Fantasy" in 2006 "; In addition, he himself also told little jokes similar to "The rice is very thin". . The collection value of "Fantasy" is absolutely beyond doubt.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy the first edition. You can buy the second edition as long as it is genuine. For fans, loving it means owning it. If you want to buy the first edition of each album, of course you have to go to Jay’s official website (jay2u.com), Jay’s Chinese website (jaycn.com) and other more reliable websites during the promotion period of Jay’s new album or the pre-order period. Purchase on.

The main sign of identifying genuine and pirated copies is to look at the name of the publisher. You can know how many publishers and agent publishers Jielun has.

For example: early albums are all "Alfa" or "Sony", and later albums should be "Jewell" or "Sony". After recognizing the names of these companies, look for laser logos. (Jewell and Alpha may have had some copyright disputes before, that is, Alpha is still publishing Jay’s albums when he was in their company, and the copyright has not yet been recovered. I don’t know what the situation is now, but one thing is certain, Jay’s current albums All are first released by "Jewell")

I usually buy the pre-order version directly, so I have almost no worries about piracy. I can pre-order it on the official website as soon as possible, and it can also be recorded in the sales volume. , it was a real support.
