I think he did something cleanup like when he was using the Q-tips on the disk. It didn't look like
the lacquer was loose, but I sure wouldn't have used an aggressive brush or cleaning solution on
that particular record. But, I might have seen if I could raise some crud in the grooves with some
sort of soaping agent and very gentle Q-tip work, and then very carefully rinsed with RO water
(Pepsi's Aquafina is one really cheap source of mineral-less RO water, by the way).
Like Aaron said, we didn't see the whole process, and Alan Stoker is experienced and considered an
expert by the Nashville community.
Does anyone know the history of that record? How did it fall out of the Presley family's hands?
