    What does everyone use to clean their albums?

    The past couple of new albums that have come from Amazon have some kind of film (dirt?) on them. 
    If you are talking about the dust that comes on a new album, then I just use the standard brush that you hold on it while it spins.  10 rotations for new, 3 whenever I play the record. 
    If you mean something more substantial, I have found that cleaning with gentle soap and water with a lint free soft towel, following the grooves forward and then back works awesome.  I don't have an okie nokie or anything like that because I just don't buy enough used records.  But I have turned a few dirty used ones into gems with hand cleaning.  It does not harm the record in the least.

    Okki Nokki for all records that look to need cleaning (even new ones)
    Spin Clean + Okki Nokki for this really dirty used records. (Spin Clean first, then Okki)

    Thunderon conductive filament brush, use this to remove static. I brush the record, both side before each play.
    Carbon Fiber Brush before playing each side, every time.
    Carbon Fiber Sylus Brush, clean stylus after each side.

    Beach Boys, "Surfer Girl", Analogue Productions, Mono.   Like new.  Admittedly, there are a few duds on this record but it also has some of my favorite Beach Boys songs and sound quality on Analogue Productions makes them sound all the more marvelous!  Super thrilled to have this one.

    Thats what I hear. I have some late 70's pressed dynaflex versions. they sound fine, but I've read these pressings are some of the best they have ever done.

    Also, if any of you love afrobeat and Black Sabbath, that Here Lies Man album is the bomb.

    Spin Clean
    I love it. I have never felt there was a need for additional cleaning after using the Spin Clean, no matter how dirty the record is.

    After watching Straight Outta Compton with my girlfriend this weekend, she surprised me by ordering Dr. Dre The Chronic on vinyl - and it arrived yesterday!  It sounds so damn good on wax.
