So, I expect you didn't watch, or pay close enough attention, to this episode. This a PRESERVATIVE treatment, NOT a cleaner. Starting at 11:29 (ua-cam.com/video/hmGQqVxGW5w/v-deo.htmlsi=EdDuRl69nbnGgj88&t=681), I even say, "LAST suggests placing a “clean” record..." You want to have your record THOUROUGHLY cleaned BEFORE you use the preservative... Again, this is NOT a cleaner... Thanks.
It would seem we share a similar journey, finding LAST products shortly after their inception... I too have dozens of LPs bearing the stickers indicating previous treatment. Those stickers are still included with the Preservative, as I indicate in today's episode.
Future generations (some) that will only ever know streaming their musical material will never engage with this ritual. Literally having ZERO ownership (if not locally stored files) of music and as such having no pride of collection ownership. I myself have become what I never wanted to be (not using physical media) Purely due to practicalities, in part I'm comfortable with this but I have to accept I'm not listening at the highest fidelity. Still, looking after media hygiene is missed.
Hello my friend. Look, I TOTALLY get the sway that the convenience and ease of access streaming affords, not to mention the one steady monthly fee (for most services), versus big bucks spent on the latest reissues and excellent quality original or first pressing LPs. But I'm glad to see that you recognize that there CAN be big differences between the two sources. One can pursue LP playback that will set the bar, and provide the best possible fidelity available. But it is time consuming and - gulp - can be VERY costly... 😉
I like that it's so easy to clean and there is no drying with cloths or vacuum...I will give it a shot

Very informative. I first used LAST products in the 80's. They used to provide little stickers, still on some of my vinyl.
