alright this s the deal i got a stack of record in really bad shape. i know i cant do anything about the scratches but want to know how i can clean them some people told me that water would do the trick but these records are really dirty i mean these babies got mud, sand and glue on em. they're not warped so that's a good thing i guess.

anyway would appreciate some help, and btw dont suggest no specific vynil cleaning fluid or anything like that cos i cant find any of that sht here.

tnx in advance.
peace

/\ /\ That might **** up your labels a little, so make sure if you wanna know what the names of the tracks are, that you get them written down firs.

i've been doing it this way for twenty years never had a label messed up,
just use your commonsence and becarefull dont dunk it in water,just the black parts thats it. dry with soft cloth and use cotton ball for alcohol.

appreciate the help fellaz, ill give it a try
alcohol makes more sense to me , these records are really messed up, its not just dust its hard layers of concentrated glue and mud'nshit.

you actually can do a little something to the scratches.. I haven't done it myself, but I just read about it a while back.
It involves matches, that's as much a I can remember.
