That's cool. Great one (VU & Nico) to have in the LP format. Gatefold? (I have 4 LP copies, by the way. And one CD.)

Most new and well-maintained used vinyl won't need the deep-cleaning I outlined. That's just for those really dirty ones.

Many audiophiles claim that the stylus "cleans up" dust and such as it plays the record, and that therefore the only real cleaning you need to do is cleaning the stylus after every record or so. (this is providing you start out with a clean record, of course)
