Casey,
Th album in question is sealed NM lp. 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.
I have no idea if this is true or not.
I ordered some of this stuff, but also a Loricraft PRC-3.
So my first tt is a restored Garrard 301 with Steve Dobbins plinth, copper platter, Reed 2P arm with CocaBolo wood and the Allinic Puritas cartdridge.
To say I'm stoked to get into vinyl would be a huge understatement.
