A new LP needs to be cleaned to remove the mold release residue every new LP comes from the pressing plant coated with. The LP pressing stampers are coated with a substance to make the LP more readily come off the stamper after it is pressed, and a small amount of the substance (residue) is left on each LP.
Clean new recording?
Someone told me I should clean new vinyl before I play it to remove cutting residue. Is that correct? I use a VPI machine.
