what is the best way to clean up records? i've got a little scratch on ten redux during oceans so i'm hoping there is a way to fix it. i don't want to have to go buy another copy, but if there's nothing i can do, i guess i'll have to.

    *sometimes* you can fix a LIGHT scratch in a record by just scratching it some more.

    you're trying to re dig the correct groove in to the record.

    If the scratch doesn't cut too deeply a good cleaner will let the needle seat well enough to play through. I'm very happy with this cleaner:

    I bought extra drying clothes and allow plenty of air drying time.

    I picked up a fairly rough copy of Steve Millers Bands "Brave New World" and the Spin Clean worked magic on it- it sounds great!
