Gosh, I wonder who would provide a service like that!
Marco.
Marco, how could you have forgotten? Could it be that you have left her locked up behind that 'little white door' for too long?
I wouldn't be surprised if she and The Gimp hadn't run off together!

I'm sure that your "existing supplier", the oik that he is, would be only too happy to facilitate the record cleaning requirements of a gentleman of your stature, and so why dirty your perfectly manicured digits when you can have the job done by such humble peasants?

Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Probably Baz, but l buy 95% secondhand vinyl- and believe me some of it is filthy, l am convinced cleaning records in this manner( and the purchase of an Anchromat oddly enough) helped with a massive reduction of clicks, pops and static, so my discs are the quietest l have had in my room, and previously l have had some high end vinyl components.

To answer the rest of your question, I always clean any records I buy, whatever state they're in. I'm still working my way through the backlog of my collection though, even after many years of owning a machine. I don't think I've ever cleaned any of my discs more than twice so far.
I've never had static problems.

After a bit of research, I found that the knees are always the best location for drying.

'It was discovering an enourmous scratch on side one his cherished copy of 'The Sugababes Greatest Hits' that finally made Gerald flip. After first killing his wife stone dead by bombarding her with the contents of a Hendrix boxed set he was then able to turn his attention back to the damaged disc. Could it be salvaged?'
