i'm usually "sure, i never clean my vinyls, hahahaha" but most of the time when i'm holding one, even if it's brand new and sealed, i take it out and clean it with a record cleaning brush my mom has. checking the needle is the basic and, unless you are planing on dropping and rocking you player real hard, then there's no need for further (regular) maintainance.
first vinyl i bought: iron maiden - powerslave, that cover is awesome on vinyl!
rob cheeto said his first vinyl was pyromania, a friend went to canada once and bought me that and hysteria.
i bought a used (more like "junkyard") turntable for like $20 dollars and i had to take it to change the line-out cables in the back and one of the cables on the needle is shorting so i need to fix that too.
experts, i have a question: can the vinyl cleaning brush gather dust? because i'm starting to distrust the one i use...
