No NMC didn't got drunk in front of me. HAHA.
Thanks for your sharing. Very glad to know someone would have such a vinyl journey.
Oh, what you said is true. I knew there're stores selling old vinyls in good quality. But the price is very expensive. I am not sure if my memory of my vinyl years is correct as a matter of fact. But many re-released 80 pops do sound to me very compressed. I stumbled across this site:

Maybe one day when I have a good vinyl setup and test whether my memory is true - or did you have this experience? Like Kraftwerk on CDs (different years) vs. vinyls? I knew there are some saying that there are some 'target' CD versions produced before like 1985 are the best, as if all or most CDs produced after 85 are bad. I tried to use some software to look at the waves of most new CDS, which seems to me the 'loudness' war has killed the CD format .. .sorry it should be a post about 80s music, but when i started to recollect my memories and pleasures from 80s music, i also started to realize this is a true concern ...

In the 80's if you want better sound or "louder" sound you go for the 12" 45 single. I don't know much about the technical part of any of the Hi-Fi and audio music production. It does seem that there are many reviewers have complained about the treatment of heavy compression and "war of loudness". One example is the "Love" album by the Beatles. People were very disappointed with the quality.
To be honest I think if you really want to test out the dynamic range of a recording it looks no further than a classical orchestra recording, in particular "The Rite Of Spring".
I would be very careful in buying some vinyl in new recordings. I found some of them plays worst than a CD. I suspect that they were just being converted from a CD copy.
I think we should care less about the technicality but concentrating on the music. At the end of the day I got many mono records which have great music.
Like most I always love the 12" 45 from Japan.

You two brothers must have a good time together then. Did he get drunk at the end? Of course not his tolerance is just as deep as a Black Hole, I presume.
"are most vinyls yr collection during yr teenager years?" The answer to this question is "Yes" and "No". When I left Hong Kong I didn't take all my collection of records since the early days. Gradually I recollect them back as much as I could when settling in the UK.
I have been lucky as I collect them while most throw them away. Sometimes I would be asked to take the whole collection for a minimal fee or free. Second hand records are still very much alive(just) in the UK especially for Rock and Jazz music. I may occasionally attend a record fair to see what I could find.
I may disagree that "it's difficult to find vintage vinyl in good condition" in Hong Kong. It depends on how deep is your pocket. From what I understand there are many second hand record shops in Hong Kong with quite an impressive stock of vintage classical records and so called "Audiophile" or "TAS Listed" modern records.
For many years records sold in Hong Kong most were pressed in Hong Kong or Singapore. I must say the sound quality wasn't up to the "audiophile" grade. That's why many bought the Japanese, American or any foreign presses due to better details and dynamics. It's hardly surprising when they introduced CD format everyone was throwing away their records. On the contrary, some suggest that the local Canton Pop which recorded and press locally were much better because they used virgin stampers. I can't comment on that as I don't have the experience.
Every now and then I got offers for the records I posted here in R33 and sometimes I almost got tempted. At the end of the day I care about music(and I do have a record cleaning machine) and may be to some degree my setup but choice of gears doesn't bother me. I believe my system is the best to "my" ears. I should expect my current system would last me years.
