Fond of Leslie Cheung / Leslie / The Wind Continues to Blow / Final Works / CD Recycling｜Hongkang Commercial Store

Are first pressings always more expensive?

Usually. First-pressing vinyl records (especially first pressings of classic albums from the 1960s–1980s) are highly sought after. For example, first-pressing LPs by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin can fetch premiums of several to tens of times their original price.

I'm a fan of Leslie Cheung / Leslie / "Wind Continues to Blow" / "Final Works" / If my used CDs have scratches or skip, will it affect their resale value?

Yes. Vinyl records are graded on a multi-tiered scale from Mint (M) and Near Mint (NM) to Poor (P). Skipping, deep scratches, and obvious mold will significantly reduce the price. We recommend taking clear photos, and our experts will provide an estimate based on the grade.

Will damaged covers, watermarks, or musty smells reduce the price?

Yes. The sleeve is an important part of vinyl collecting. Damage, mold, and watermarks all affect the estimated value. The integrity of the sleeve is particularly crucial for first pressings and limited editions.

Do you also buy CDs and SACDs?

Yes. Japanese and German editions, as well as first-pressing CDs, especially out-of-print classical, jazz, and pop classic albums, are in demand. SACDs (especially the initial releases from Universal and Sony) have even higher collector's value.
