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

@richardbrand ....yes, I recall something to that effect....Parastat may be a name similar to a solution that I spray applied to a couple of Mobil Fidelity LP’s back when.....It sounded as if the content of the cuts became ’silken’ and damped out some hf detail....mho, of course.....
I used it on 3~4 albums, then stopped.
Ought to dig them out and hit replay.....

I throw the wrapper in the trash.

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

 @willyht and others.

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.
