Record Cleaning

Nitty-Gritty is a thing of the past, machines can help...
Here's a do-it-yourself kit, similar to the VPI, $50 to make:

Disc Doctor really is a Miracle cleaner; may use w/ machine.
I have had the original version for years.
Now they have a no-rinse solution as well.

They have made ergonomic brushes for easy hand-cleaning.
This works like a charm, but you do have to expend more
energy and time because it is a manual mode, of course..
Not a terribly difficult endeavor and fun in short spells.

One record I cleaned sounded like a rake was on it, noise
throughout. At *best,* it was G in sound but EX to the
looking at its grooves. I cleaned that LP to a nice sheen.

Voila! Wopp-baba-loobop-balop-bam-boom!

Crystal clear sound and play grade JUMPED up to VG++.
(See Previous Article: Record Grading)

An interesting side-effect is that the records continue to
sound better after each subsequent spin up until the 5th.
At that point, the clarity it levels out to a pristine plateau.

Why?

The slight remainders of grit, etc. in the grooves
are extracted by the passage of the needle.

I swear by the Disc Doctor and their motto:
"For the sound you thought you bought."

True,

Cesar, no kickbacks, just happy cleansing!`';o)
