Released in 1979 by PolyGram Records,"Star" was Alan Tam's first solo Cantonese album after leaving the Wynners. This record is considered an important masterpiece in the history of Hong Kong pop music,perfectly capturing the unique charm of the late 1970s and early 1980s Cantonese music development.

Key Factors Affecting the Purchase Price of Second-hand Vinyl Records
Many people,when tidying up old items at home,often ask: "How much is this 80s Cantonese vinyl worth now. " We are committed to providing the fairest and most transparent valuation service for second-hand vinyl records. For this classic album,"Star," the actual buyback price for the vinyl record will be assessed based on the following professional criteria:
- Edition and Release Year: The first pressings released by PolyGram in Hong Kong back then had excellent pressing quality and the warmest,most natural sound. Therefore,the buyback price for "first-pressing vinyl records" is usually much higher than later reissues or re-pressings. The matrix number is an important basis for us to identify the edition.
- Completeness of Accessories: Whether the original cover,inner sleeve,and original lyric sheet from that year are well-preserved,without water damage or tears,will directly affect the final valuation.
- Condition of the Vinyl Record: This is the most crucial factor in determining the price. Scratches,mildew,or warping on the record surface will affect background noise and track reading during playback.
