Looking for replacement Vinyls

So I moved back in late 2011 and had some of my things in storage. Included was a box of vinyls (mostly PJ) that was on the ground of the unit. I just recently went to clear out my unit and unfortunately there was a leak and a good bit of water flooded my locker along with a few others, so everything in boxes on the ground was damaged. I'm looking to replace the following Pearl Jam LPs:
Self-titled (Avocado)
Binaural
Rearviewmirror
Lost Dogs
Merkinball
Thankfully I did not lose them all - a few were in another box that was off the ground. But I'm looking to buy/trade for the ones I listed. If you're willing to part or have extras, let me know.

To prepare one (1) liter (L) of solution, place 500 milliliters (mL) of water into a one-L glass bottle and add:
1. Triton™ XL-80N surfactant, 5 mL. This is the active cleaning agent (detergent) in the formula
2. Concentrated ammonium hydroxide (analytical reagent grade), 5 mL. We analyzed the white deposits commonly found on acetate discs and determined that they consist of fatty acids which are formed as a result of degradation of the plasticizers that were introduced in their manufacture. This ingredient needs to be included only for the cleaning of acetate records. It will not hurt other records, but it may not necessarily clean them better.
3. Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, 125 microliters (0.125 mL). This ingredient is added to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms during storage. It is also useful for disinfecting records which might have mold on them, but it does not influence the cleaning action.
4. Enough water to make the solution up to a full L.
5. Cap the bottle tightly and invert it a few times to mix the solution thoroughly.
Note: It may be more convenient to prepare a stock solution containing 10 times the concentrations of all ingredients, from which the solution for actual use can be readily prepared by a 1:10 dilution.
I skip the ammonium hydroxide and alkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. Do a Google search on the Triton™ XL-80N surfactant to find a currently available surfactant. Very little is required. The stuff really works and does not have any negative effect on the vinyl (or shellac). I use Aquafina for water. I give the ultrasonically cleaned records a rinse in "pure" water, give them a light hand dry with a cotton diaper and put them in a dish rack to dry.
I've been cleaning ultrasonically for several years. I bought my ultrasonic vessel just large enough to clean LPs, thus allowing for cleaning of 7" and 10" records as well. Anytime female family and friends visit, I clean their rings. They are all believers. Muddy records, no problem. Muddy labels, now that's a problem.

revirginizer - does this work on other things besides records?
I don't know. Try it out and report back to us. I would curious to know!!!
