What are the ways to buy vinyl?
Common ways to buy vinyl records include the official website of the record company, Taobao, JD.com, and YY. If you want to buy a modern new version, you can actually go to some vinyl flagship stores to buy it, but if you want to buy a classic retro vinyl from the last century, one is a platform like YY, and the other is an old offline store.

What are rips and first editions?
First of all, I have to say that as long as the rips are officially released, they are all genuine. This means that they must be officially authorized. Rip refers to obtaining copyright through official channels, re-recording the master tape on the basis of a new record company and making a new vinyl record. The first edition refers to the master tape version recorded at the time of release. The difference between rips and first editions is actually still very large. The original version is closer to that era, more authentic, and more expensive.
