All vinyl (except for sealed albums and new Mosaic Boxes) have been ultrasonic cleaned but LPs need to be cleaned every couple of years. All albums come with an external plastic protective cover. Wherever I can I include the original inner sleeve but put cleaned vinyl in a new white non-toxic paper sleeve.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Regarding the quality and playback of vinyl records. Vinyl, generally, is in various stages of quality depending on being an original pressing, deep groove, physical condition, and age of album. The older vinyl is usually dryer which creates little ticks and pops, but that can be handled by professionally softening records with with "Last" record preservation treatment. Another thing to consider is the quality of playback equipment like turntable cartridge and needle. Worn needles can cause all sorts of distortion and damage vinyl irreparably. Plus the difference in sound between a needle's shape, conical, elliptical or the other two can make a big difference in sound as well as picking up imperfections on the record. No vinyl is 100% perfect and even some have particles can be left from the pressing that have to be cleaned off for a pleasant listening experience.
I've been collecting for many years but for the pleasure of playing music not collecting special pressings for resale. I do not test play every album only visual inspection according to Goldmine standards.
