Is there a plethora of physical album styles available for sale? Are surrounding celebrities selling their albums to sell strength or emotions? In August of this year, Luo Dayou released a concept album called "Love · River · People · Space", while also disclosing the physical configuration of this album - in addition to common song albums and physical cassette tapes, there is also a customized cassette player. According to a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, it is not uncommon to find a tying arrangement similar to an album and its surroundings, and the selling price of the surroundings far exceeds that of the album itself. Is it selling strength or selling emotions when celebrities release albums? Is there a variety of physical album configurations available for fans or for ordinary listeners? This time, Luo Dayou's new concept album "Love · River · People · Space" has a limited edition of the first batch of "Precious Hardbound Edition Book Boxes", which includes Luo Dayou's nearly 10000 character concept album songbook, physical cassette, and a customized cassette player. This concept album is priced at NT $2688, plus shipping and customs duties, equivalent to RMB 800. In recent years, many singers and artists have released physical albums with a variety of appearances and configurations, which are expensive. Liu Yuxin's first personal physical album "XANADU" is divided into two versions: a regular album and a vinyl album: the regular album is priced at 233 yuan, while the vinyl album is priced at 899 yuan. The pricing of both physical and vinyl albums far exceeds the regular pricing. The configuration of the album includes a silver imitation shell, "Xin" logo CD, embroidered bag, lyrics poster, embroidered DIY experience bag, and photo album. Similar examples include Wang Sulong's official album, which was designed to resemble a doll machine; Ju Jingyi's "IX" comes with a photo lyrics book, poster, small card, growth calendar, and badge; The physical album "Liu Yanfen" of Yiyang Qianxi focuses on the production of building materials, such as 136p photo album and solid wood board, weighing three kilograms. Such physical albums have achieved high sales and "conscientious praise" among the artist's fan base, such as Liu Yuxin's fan review of "how much the number 233 carries, and the hard work behind it is needless to say"; I just want to know if Liu Yuxin's physical album is so expensive, can it be paid back? "However, ordinary netizens and listeners have a different attitude: some netizens express that they only want to listen to a song, but they have to buy back so many unnecessary things, which is really not cost-effective. Is the attribute of physical record music overlooked as a consumer music or a consumer celebrity? Hu Yu, a senior planner at a record company, stated that the sluggish record market is an undeniable fact. When selling physical albums, it is also common to bundle and sell ancillary products. Many physical records have long been overlooked for their musical attributes. Examples in reality confirm this point: some netizens who have been following celebrities for many years complain, "Buying hundreds of albums at once is just for a small card and a limited photo album. The songs in the album have been heard online for a long time, and after dismantling the album, the excess CDs are either sold at a 10% discount or given directly to friends." Originally, the small card was a free gift, but after hype, In the secondary market, some physical albums come with small cards that once sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and some small cards are even priceless in the market. A media survey found that other parts of the secondary market, excluding small cards, are priced at less than 10% off. L Idol 1
