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

I throw the wrapper in the trash.

If paper, change out the liner to a MoFi sleeve, clean it with ultrasonic, then play.

Question, I am a fledgling jazz listener, so know & have Miles, Herbie, Cannonball, etc, most from the standard Blue Note. I don’t recognize most of the Tone Poets artists, but would like to begin to enjoy their fidelity. Any top albums you would recommend to start? Thanks 

@signaforce Sure. Here are a few of my favorites:

Curtis Amy and Dupree Bolton/Katanga

Andrew Hill/Black Fire

Andrew Hill/Dance with Death

Carmell Jones/The Remarkable Carmell Jones

Dexter Gordon/One Flight Up

Donald Byrd/Chant

Andrew Hill Passing Ships

Btw, I have many more than these, and they all have redeeming qualities. They are beautifully packaged, and fun to own. Andrew Hill was a pleasant discovery for me---- I also recommend Smokestack and Point of Departure which are part of the Blue Note Classic series. 

Clean it.

@willyht Thanks!
