Is it necessary to clean every record?

I'm constantly buying used records, some of which are in excellent to mint condition. I put them in an ever growing stack of "to be cleaned" records, some of which are now several years old, because I have a rule not to play records that haven't been through the VPI machine. Is it really necessary to clean the ones that appear as if they've never been played? I listen to a Planar 25, Classe integrated, and Spica TC-60's. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

It is only necessary if you would like to maintain optimum performance and reproduction with minimal wear and tear on the vinyl and stylus for more than one play. Sean

PS... Repeat this mantra :

Clean the record, play the record. Clean the record, play the record. Clean the record, play the record......
