@j_damon: I listened to “Sticky Fingers” earlier today.
@slaw: unfortunately, my ex-girlfriend took the hair dryer (which is fine since I don’t have much hair, but I don’t have it to heat the album to try to remove paint spots. I judiciously used the microwave 5-10 seconds at a time with damp record, but to no avail). Might not matter anyway, as the other side without the paint drops sounds pretty worn. This was the Grateful Dead’s first album, released in 1967.
