To clean or not clean a new LP depends on how much you value your cartridge and stylus, and how much you value getting the best sonics off the record.
It hurts nothing to clean prior to play so I do some form of it whether it’s a light brush or an ultrasonic clean. Proper care and your records will last a lifetime and continue to sound their best.
Also recommend cleaning the stylus periodically and replacing paper record sleeves.
