What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record?


That is, apart from kiss the person who gave it to you!

You might play it, catalog it, archive it, clean it or simply store it.  I am sure there are many other things you do!

Cleaned, placed in a new inner sleeve, then carried off to the turntable. Latest was Rick Wakeman's 2014 re-recording of JTTCOTE.

You won't regret it, though many of us use a vacuum machine of some sort before the U/S. But anything is better than nothing when it comes to cleaning records.
