LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe?

I should have mentioned keeping those albums in Discwasher VRP sleeves, as well. Everything helped, I'm certain.

I received a Rolling Stones' album that had been treated with Last("Sticky Fingers" or "Let it Bleed"), and thought that it hurt the dynamics. I used Stylast on my cartridges, but now use Disc Doctor. I thought Stylast was okay or good.

I found that Stylast formed a coating on my stylus. The more I used it(thinking the stylus was dirty) the worse the sound got! I finally caught on and stopped using it and the the sound got better with every record!

Cheers,

The chemist who invented LAST insisted that his product was not a coating. He said that it bonded with or reacted chemically with the vinyl (I don't remember which, the conversation I had with him occured over a quarter century ago) to reduce the friction it imparted to the stylus. He also said that LAST could only be removed with a nasty industrial solvent unavailable to consumers. On the other hand, Disc Doctor auteur Duane Goldman claims that his cleaner can remove LAST. For what its worth, Michael Fremer has used LAST for decades and told me that he hears no ill effects from it.
