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?? ihldt!dbg
