Vinyl Collection Notes | The First Installment of Leslie Cheung's Most Collectible Vinyl Records

This was Brother Gor's first album that made him famous. I remember the first time I watched the movie "Drummer" and thought the songs were great, but at the time, I didn't know Brother Gor starred in and sang them. I only found out later, but it was hard to find those songs. The song "The Wind Continues to Blow" is also the theme song of the movie "Unemployed Student." At first, this song wasn't very popular; it only became popular gradually as more people requested it on the radio. I find this song very listenable. Personally, I recommend "The Wind Continues to Blow," "Fragments," "Silently Striving Upwards," and "I Want to Go Against the Wind."

It's truly difficult to describe this album in words. This record was released before Leslie Cheung became widely famous, and it's named after its hit song "The Wind Continues to Blow" (a cover of a famous Japanese singer Momoe Yamaguchi). Although Leslie Cheung was already a public figure in 1983, he was still a year away from becoming a mega-star, so feelings of disappointment and frustration were inevitable. Today, getting your hands on this album would cost at least a thousand Chinese yuan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How much do you pay for rare vinyl records?

Original pressings of classic rock bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd can fetch thousands to over ten thousand Hong Kong dollars. Cantonese oldies and audiophile limited editions also have a stable collector's market. WhatsApp 94530784 with photos of the album cover and vinyl surface for a quote.

Q: Do you still buy vinyl records with scratches or skips?

A: Minor scratches are acceptable. Deep scratches and severe skipping will significantly reduce the price. We recommend providing a close-up of the record label to help identify the version.

Q: Does a damaged paper sleeve or missing lyric sheet affect the resale price?

A: Yes, it does. A complete sleeve, inner sleeve, lyric sheet, poster, and other accessories can increase the price by 20-30%. However, if the vinyl itself is in good condition, it can still be recycled.

Q: How much does a damaged album cover affect the price?

A: The completeness of the album cover affects the recycling price by approximately 20-40%. This is especially true for deluxe covers, lyric inner pages, posters, and other complete accessories, which significantly increase the value. Japanese editions with OBI strips will also fetch an additional premium.

Q: What's the best way to store vinyl records?

A: Store them upright (to prevent warping), avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures, and store inner and outer sleeves separately to reduce friction. Keep the storage environment dry, as excessive humidity can cause mold on the sleeves.
