Record Revirginizer

Hello all,

So in anticipation of getting my first turntable I've been buying records from different sources.I bought an expensive first pressing of an old Genesis Lp off a guy on Ebay and he recommended that I give it a good cleaning before I play it. I asked about record cleaning machines and he said he's been using "Record Revirginizer" with good results.

Anybody ever hear of this stuff?

Rockitman,

For sure. I just ordered a couple of bottles just to see. Too expensive for a regular use type of thing for sure. Especially since you have to pay shipping from Australia!

Wouldn't the "Record Groove" cleaner do about the same thing, except for it should have been a conical design.
But it uses a "glue type" removal theory, is reusable and only 20 bucks.

Mikeba316,

>>The guy recommended to clean even before first play. He said that even with the initial play the needle can push in any contaminant that may be on the album surface and make it harder to clean later.<<

He spoke the truth. I even clean brand new LPs prior to the first play. It's a PITA but worth it. On new LPs, prior to using the RCM, it's a good idea to use a cleaner such as Premier to remove any residual mold-release compound on the LP.
