clean your ******* vinyl (please)

spent the afternoon cleaning some records including a handful given to me that I hadn't really touched. and thank god for that because the thought of my needle going through THAT makes me sick to my stomach. not often I can actually see dirty fingerprints

but gave it a good once (and twice and thrice) over and it's looking damn near brand new. to think that once upon a time I used to buy records and just throw them on
