As a kind of high-grade collection, records have long been specially collected abroad, which has also created many collectors. But for a long time, they have not been favored by China collectors. At present, many Tibetan friends in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities have realized the potential value of records, and gradually formed a record collection fever, which is developing to various places. Some media published an article in 1997: "Recently, Golden Snake Dance and Cloud Chasing the Moon produced by a 1934 Shanghai EMI record company were auctioned in Hong Kong at 12000 and 05000 respectively." Not long ago, the author saw a group of recordings of speeches by Jiang Qing, Zhang Chunqiao, Chen Boda and others during the "Cultural Revolution" in An Antique City. Eight recordings (numbered WM-24 to WM-3 1) cost as much as 20,000 yuan. As a result, records will surely become another "dark horse" in the collectible market after the products and comics of the Cultural Revolution.
Album album
The main distribution mode of modern music is usually composed of 3- 15 songs, the length of which is mostly between 12 and 74 minutes (without exception). Generally speaking, the order of songs in an album should be carefully considered. If you listen to it in this order, the whole album will feel greater than the sum of simple songs, that is, the whole is greater than the sum of parts, especially the concept album.
An article about the album:
With a little fame, I was in a hurry to release an album. It seems that this is the only way for every red man. The heart of fame occupies many people's hearts, because they think that only fame can live up to this life! Only being famous is the goal of life! But I didn't find anything more valuable. ...
Being able to appear in a real album does not mean being strong, but being able to produce a life album is tall.
First of all, there are fewer and fewer bakelite records. According to the estimation of the World Record Federation, LP records (i.e. bakelite records) all over the world are decreasing at the rate of 5 records per year. It is understood that domestic LP records are seriously damaged; Secondly, LP records have been popular all over the world for nearly a hundred years, recording the sounds of various periods in history. The content can be described as all-encompassing, including news, celebrity speeches, recordings of leaders' speeches, film recordings and clips, local operas, Beijing opera, traditional operas, songs, cross talks and so on. As the carrier of culture, archives have been selected into the "time capsule" many times, which shows that archives are the most authentic and reliable materials for studying history and culture.
Vinyl, also called LP, long play, is a three-dimensional black celluloid disc. Why LP? Mainly for the short-term recording of old rough textures in the past. This is a simple explanation. Why play with old things in the digital age? The main reason is that the empty inspiration and sense of existence are irreplaceable by the current CD. If you have heard of LP, you will be unbearable for the sharp and rough digital sound of CD now. Modern CD has developed many circuits and recording methods to minimize digital sound, but it is still inferior to LP. The equipment that plays LP is called turntable, and generally there is no power amplifier, just the output of the previous stage. The pickup methods are moving magnet, moving coil, moving iron head, and moving iron+linear tracking head is the best.
Since 1948, 33 and 3 records of 1 turn have been released. After several years of development, the single-sided recording time is nearly 30 minutes, which is much longer than before, so it is called long play. In contrast, with the primitive state of technology, there is the so-called "『SP』", which is the standard gameplay, with 78 revolutions per minute. Nowadays, almost all popular records are 33 rpm, so vinyl records are called "『LP』" directly.
For short, regardless of various technical parameters, among all kinds of music recording materials developed so far-records, tapes and CDs, the sound quality of SP is the closest to the original sound, which is the realm pursued by fans. Most of the works of many heavyweight performers, conductors, big bands and singers are released on vinyl records for the first time. As long as SP is properly preserved, it will be preserved for a long time. Generally, a CD will be finished in about ten years. At present, vinyl records are rare items, especially famous records decades ago, which are even more precious. Dozens of SP classic records that Ishihara brought this time have been sealed in these records since 1926. They are perfect, close to the original sound.
1982, China has listed Chairman Mao's badge as a rare contemporary cultural relic during the Cultural Revolution, and "Chairman Porcelain" is also known as a revolutionary cultural relic. With the passage of time, the rich cultural connotation of archives is gradually recognized by people and brought into the category of contemporary cultural relics. During the period of 1996, when the Hong Kong Heritage Museum held the "Collection of Cantonese Opera Cultural Relics", it clearly included records in the collection scope and collected a large number of Cantonese opera records. On April 1998 and 10, China Art Newspaper published an article entitled "It is urgent to protect musical cultural relics", pointing out that UNESCO listed the acoustic cultural relics collected by China Academy of Fine Arts as "World Memory" cultural heritage protection projects.
Records, like other collections, also have high artistic appreciation. Its exquisite cover design involves many artists. Such as Wang Shuhui, Dai Dunbang, Li Kuchan, Mao Zedong and Guo Moruo. In addition, the collection of records has created a unique way of appreciation, rewriting the history that traditional works of art can only be appreciated with eyes, that is, listening to beautiful songs and musical instruments with ears. Because hearing can cause visual effects, when people appreciate old records and feel their soft and real phonology, it seems that they have returned to that year, and unforgettable scenes emerge in front of them, and they feel particularly cordial. The author has encountered this situation several times: I heard who has old records, bought them at home, didn't sell them, asked why, and replied that I love them. I changed it to a nostalgic old song VCD, and replied: I love the taste of this old record. It shows that this kind of appreciation is most easily accepted by the public and has a broad mass base. It doesn't need to have certain professional knowledge like other works of art. ..
1908, EMI established "Oriental EMI Record Company" in Shanghai, marking the formal birth of China's recording industry. From that time to the early 1960s, the coarse-grained records of 78 revolutions were mainly recorded in China. Because of the defects of 78-turn coarse-grained records, such as less information, easy to break and heavy, the Propaganda Department of the CPC established the "China recording arts Committee" on 1962, and then began to promote 33-turn dense-grained records. Its information storage capacity is several times higher than that of 78 rpm coarse-grained records, and other defects have also been greatly improved. Coarse-grained records up to1972,78 turns are completely eliminated. 1968 after the successful development of plastic film records by record factories in China, they were distributed in large quantities by record factories all over the country. In the middle and late 1980s, with the appearance and promotion of cassette tapes and CD records, LP records completed their historical mission and made a comeback, becoming the darling of collectors.
As the carrier of sound and music, vinyl records almost occupied the whole 20th century until the birth of 1984 CD. 1992 China entered the CD era, a large number of vinyl production lines were eliminated, and the price of vinyl records dropped from 30 yuan to 15 yuan. However, due to the preference of collectors, the price of vinyl records gradually rose from 1994 to 1996, exceeding 100 yuan.
The last domestic vinyl production line was closed at 1998. At present, vinyl records in the domestic market are all imported from overseas or used. Now in Tao Jie, the cheapest vinyl record costs 60 to 70 yuan, and the collection edition can be thousands.
In my opinion, there is really no difference. It is estimated that ep is not an album, but it is also a record and a single or something.
