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!

Open and inspect. Clean in the ultrasonic machine and add the album to Discogs while doing so. When dry, play the album and check out the artwork. When done, place in a rice paper inner sleeve if needed.
