395 albums were submerged in a flooded basement when the rains
came to Chicago.  Never mind the furniture, tools, appliances,
stereo, furnace, hot water heater -- they are all replaceable.
I recommended peeling away the jacket and sleeve and washing the
records in warm water.  Replace the jacket and sleeve with blanks
and relabel them.  It is apparently not that simple.  I am told
(by the unlucky owner) that they (albums) will not respond to any
such treatment.  Terrible noise comes from the grooves.  Any
suggestions for restoring them??
