Have a carbon fiber brush but it's not doing the trick on some of them. Also have an onzow for the stylus.

You guys need a record cleaner. I bought one off eBay from a guy that 3D printed it. It's so f'in handy for those bargain crate digging sessions I have.

He sells on eBay. It's a great cost effective solution to those of us who don't want to spring for an okki nokki

Also, are those snatcher LPs limited? I don't plan to buy one for a while. Passed on contra 3. Why not release 1 and super c with the same treatment as the castlevania releases?


Edit: I have no experience with this, but it's the cheapest QUALITY consumer product:

I saw that at needle Doctor, the thing that makes me question it is it vacuums from the bottom side of the record while everything else does from the top side. I dunno

You're not gonna win cheaply here unless you go the route I did or snipe an Okki Nokki on eBay.

+1, I started w/a Spin Clean and moved up to an Okki Nokki when someone on a forum was moving one for half off. I couldn't bring myself to spend money on the half-assed and DIY solutions that are out there.

The only thing that will remove mildew roots is wood glue.

I've heard that from multiple people and have seen and heard the results but it's a fucking mess and smells like a diaper full of indian food in a dumpster.

It isn't that bad when you get used to it.

I use an old 4 speed turntable to do it though.

Is it colored?

I often buy taiwan discs just for the colored vinyl.



Anyways, I'm a poor man and only have the montenegró recording of "good bad ugly".

It used to be really common to release arrangements of music from films.

Hugo Montenegro, Ferrante and Teicher had their own following.

What's the best way to clean a vinyl record? I'm having mixed results with my spinclean & really want to save my Beach Boys albums from popping & clicking hell.

Right now, I've got 5 records drying with a layer of wood glue on them.

They look pristine, but have lots of pops.

One is a first pressing first label of Miles Davis All Stars ‎– Walkin'. The difference between VG and VG+ on that one is $100.00.
