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!

Put it in plastic sleeve and put a small adhesive dot on it with the year purchased, and attach LAST sticker. Then play it and enter it into my database.
