Treating records with LAST preservative

I remember reading that The Library of Congress uses Last Record Care products to preserve vinyl records (Also, some time ago they purchased several top-of-the-line Simon York turntables to play their collection and transcribe many of them to digital. They must have done their research as I am sure they have "one-of-a-kinds" that are priceless.

An interesting "mixed bag" of opinions here. To add one more voice, I've been using LAST preservative on my vinyl records for about 30 years, and have had uniformly good results with it. Of course, I thoroughly wet-clean my LP's first, using a Nitty Gritty record cleaning machine, and then apply LAST. During the past several years, I've sold about 1/3 of my record collection to people who frequent Audiogon, and nearly every one of them has written me to comment about the excellent condition of the records. The great majority of those LP's had been treated with LAST.

My experience is identical to Sdcampbell. Of my (approx.) 6000 LP’s there are only a hand full that are not treated with LAST.

I like the product and in comparisons with Groove Glide, preferred LAST.

I think LAST is an excellent product. I started using it in the 80's if memory serves. Absolutely no problems or issues on records that have been LAST treated for about 20 something years now.

I also use and would recommend their stylus cleaner.

Have Fun.
