Have yet to get a new record that isn't already dirty. There is usually a film on the record. Also packed in cheap paper, so bit of that on the record as well.
First thing I do when opening up a new record, clean it, then put new sleeves on the inner and outer parts.
The couple times a new uncleaned record has been played, my needle had crud all over after one side. On time thought it was a bad recording, turns out it was a dirty needle
