It may be fake, but I recall a CSI episode where elmers glue was used on a rare
jazz record to clean it up. Spread it along the grooves to make a thin skin,
which goes deep into the groove and grabs all the kruft. Once dry, just peal
it up and the recording is like new. OR just hollywood smoke and mirrors.....
