The paper and cardboard of the jacket/liner had deposited into the record grooves and just would not come out. My plea to the net was answered, and I wrote off to Old Colony Sound Lab (usually advertised in "The Audio Amateur" in Petersborough, New Hampshire). They have two products, an anti-static solution which helps the particles come out of the grooves, and a "facial" which gives the record a deep cleaning. Both products work great, are moderately priced (read extreamly cheap compared to the highway robbery of most record cleaning products). I now regularly use the anti-static spray on all my records, even the ones that didn't get wet. Wm Leler tektronix!tekchips!wm
