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

Once I remove the shrink-wrap, I put the jacket into either a single or gatefold liner, put the disc into the Degritter for a quick wash/rinse, replace the sleeve with a Big Fudge sleeve if it's a cheapie, and remove static from the sleeve with the Destat.

Just after posting my response, FedEx came up the driveway with a Blue Note Tone Poet--Freddie Roach/Good Move. Nice!

Play it—unless it’s warped, in which case I clean, flatten, and then play it.

Goes into the Degritter first then a clean inner sleeve.  Add it to my discogs collection list then to the “to be played” que…

I would return it, new records all have GPS and a chip in them that would track my listening habits.
