Brother Leslie Cheung's most collectible vinyl records
In August 1977, Polydor Records released a 45-rpm single EP called "I Like Dreamin'"
This is the first solo album in Leslie Cheung's acting career and the only nine-hour single in his entire album collection. The release of this single was a promotional effort, a trial run. Strictly speaking, it is not a standard solo album, so we often define it as a Polydor Promo (Editor's Note: Polydor merchandise promotion). This single contains two English songs, both of which were previously included in a compilation album "Do Do Polydor" released by Polydor Records in 1977. The single includes "Do You Wanne"
"Make Love" can be regarded as the first song released by my brother in his acting career. Since my brother was a new singer at that time and released his first solo album, the number of albums was relatively small. This single only released
500 copies sold and sales were not ideal. The total sales in Hong Kong were about 200 copies, and the other 300 copies were sold in Hong Kong's counter-selling area. Come and buy it now, this fine piece is already "priceless peace". In March 2006, Universal Music released the three-time CD limited edition of "I Like Dreamin", which was the first time the album was released in CD form. The included tracks are different from the first EP in 1978, with the addition of a song that has never been released on Leslie's record, "Gaze" and the English song "Thank You" that was included in the 1978 album "Lover's Arrow".
Do you know the five most collectible vinyl records of Leslie Cheung?
It's said that because Leslie Cheung was new and his songs weren't well-received, this album wasn't widely distributed, and was even used for land reclamation. Even with the price down to just HK$1 per copy, no one bought it. Unexpectedly, Leslie Cheung would later become a huge star across Asia and the Pacific. A recent copy was bought by a fan for HK$100,000, demonstrating its immense value.
