Do I 'Hafta' clean a brand new audiophile LP?

Just got Roy Orbison's "lonely and blue" 200g pressing from Classic Records in the mail today.

I placed it on the VPI cleaning machine and just stopped.
It looks so perfect! Why risk sonic changes?

Do new albums REALLY need cleaning...?

Read my tale of woe about the filthy new records I just got from Speakers Corner on a nearby thread. Just do it.

Use the Record Reseach Deep Cleaner, best I've seen to remove that crap.
