Whats on your turntable tonight?

Slaw,
Have you ever bought a new album that has a lightish film on it (usually only a couple areas) & if so, how do you remove it. Note that it is audible.

Spot on with Prine, Leonard, & David

Never noticed that boxer. However my OP/OK Computer/EU copy was very difficult to clean. This was early on before US and my best steaming methods. Everytime I cleaned it, I’d get white dots on my DD cleaning pads. I chalked this up to mold release compounds.


Great question.

A great reason to have a steamer

Have Shake it Up as well Slaw.
Might sound like I do not need worry about any MFSL copies of The Cars.

Slaw,
I'm thinking it may be a release compound or something they used during the pressing process. Only have a couple like this, but it bothers me every time I listen to them. Oh well... 

From what I've read, before MFSL decides which albums to remaster, they first listen to the master tapes.
I'll post my impressions soon on Shake it Up, but will say early on, I'm kind of beside myself in just the difference in the S/T & Shake it Up.
I can only assume they made a deal to remaster all of them instead of individually.
