Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best?

Having knowledge of industry vinyl record production years ago, most producers did clean the mold release compound as a separate step. Those that did not suffered a significant increase in returns, which were very costly.

I buy from my local Church Holy Water for my Record Cleaning Machine. the records sound definitely different after using it.

To greatly improve the sound quality of your new vinyl records, go outside into your driveway on a warm sunny day with your new records, thusly remove from the sleeves and place the records on the hood of your car for exactly forty three minutes, no more, no less. The warmth of the sun will slightly widen and deepen the grooves resulting in the stylus sinking deeper and tighter into the groove producing far superior music playback. Wagner will never sound better!

There's a sure way to turn it into a Dali masterpiece. Or maybe a Picasso.

What about a good scrub with steel wool and lava soap? :-)
