Why is this album worth top cash prices.

In addition to the well-known title track,the "Close to You" album also includes classic film and television hits such as "If This Is Love." Due to the early 90s being a transition period from vinyl to CD,the existing quantity of Leon Lai's vinyl records (LPs) released in 1991 is far lower than later CDs,making a well-preserved "Close to You" vinyl a sought-after treasure in the used record buyback market.

  2. Disc Scratches: presence of deep scratches affecting playback,and whether the disc surface remains shiny.
  3. Accessory Completeness: whether the original lyric booklet,accompanying poster,and OBI strip are still present.

Lyrics
Is it love or fate,or a dream lover.
Our feelings,only we understand
Is it love or fate,or at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection

Matters of fate,no one knows
Our love,why has it become so fragile
Matters of fate,relying on each other
Our love,still needs effort to maintain

Is it love or fate,or a dream lover.
Our feelings,only we understand
Is it love or fate,or at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection

Matters of fate,no one knows
Our love,why has it become so fragile
Matters of fate,relying on each other
Our love,still needs effort to maintain

Is it love or fate,or a dream lover.
Our feelings,only we understand
Is it love or fate,or at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection

Matters of fate,no one knows
Our love,why has it become so fragile
Matters of fate,relying on each other
Our love,still needs effort to maintain

Is it love or fate,or a dream lover.
Our feelings,only we understand
Is it love or fate,or at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection
