Limited edition of 5,000 copies, of which 4,990 copies were sold to the public, each piece of digital vinyl was priced at 199 yuan, a total of 62,840 people made an appointment to rush to buy, and all sold out in less than 10 seconds... This is the result of Luo Dayou's digital collection "The Tears of a Lover in the Years". It is reported that Luo Dayou released the digital collection on QQ Music on April 8 (sold out), April 15 and April 21, selecting three songs from the new album "Encore". If all three pieces of digital vinyl are sold out, sales will reach 1.785 million yuan.
From "Childhood" and "Love Song 1980" to "Pearl of the Orient" and "The Way You Look", Luo Dayou's music creation not only records the relationship between the times and people, but also affects too many people who love music and life. This time, he selected three songs from the new album "Encore", "Lover's Tears", "Happiness Here", and "Words of the West Wind", which were released as digital collections. "Encore" is a pure cover album he released in 2022, 11 songs are selected from the melodies that have been echoing in his mind since he was a child, the original singer of these songs has long passed away, but the power of moving is still alive.
The first digital collection, "The Tears of a Lover," was released in a limited edition of 5,000 copies on April 8, and Red Star News reporters also made an appointment in advance to snap up. Entering the snap up screen, I found that a total of 62,840 people had made a reservation to snap up. Because Luo Dayou reserved 10 copies of each sheet, only 4990 copies were publicly sold on the 8th. Just arrived at 5 p.m. that day, less than 10 seconds later, it was displayed as "sold out." The Red Star News reporter learned that the next "Happiness Here" and "The Words of the West Wind" will be sold to the public at 2990 and 990 respectively, which will naturally be more sought-after. Of course, the three digital collections also brought Luo Dayou a good income. "Lover's Tears", which has been sold out, has sales of 993,000 yuan, and the next two digital collections, not surprisingly, will all be sold out. A fan of Luo Dayou lamented on the Internet, "This is a ritualistic form collection, and the uniqueness behind it makes this digital vinyl collection more collectible." ”
"Lover's Tears" is a favorite jazz song of the 1960s by Luo Dayou. And "Happiness Here", Luo Dayou restores the purity, love and warmth in the song as much as possible, and he hopes to convey some healing power through music. As for "The Words of the West Wind", it was Luo Dayou who re-adapted "Song" and "The Words of the West Wind", and mixed them into Dvořák's Ninth Symphony "New World", hoping to have a safe and healthy world in 2022.
After experiencing vinyl, CDs, tapes, MP3s, and streaming, today's music industry has entered a virtual era represented by "digital collections." The Red Star News reporter found that many Chinese musicians have also launched vinyl digital collections before, and through the combination of music and technology, they have achieved good results. This attempt to release a digital collection is a documentary experiment for Luo Dayou. For many fans who love him, it is a gift from Luo Dayou to this era.
