IIRC, Vogue discs are not lacquer, but vinyl. According to http://voguepicturerecords.org/records.html: "The records were produced using a complicated process whereby a central core aluminum disc was sandwiched between the paper illustrations and vinyl."

So it may not be as risky as lacquer to find the right treatment.

The caveat (first) is that there are different types of adhesives, some are water soluble some are not, which is what Bryce is getting at I am guessing. In our case we have used the process to remove lacquer disc labels affixed with water soluble adhesive that feature non-water soluble ink when the label covers grooves. There is a gore text sheet that can be trimmed and damp blotter paper against the gore-tex. It is similar to the damp blotter pack on this page: https://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/PMG_Humidification,_Drying_and_Flattening. We used reverse osmosis water. One can also use mylar sheet trimmed/with cut outs, over the gore-text (or under) to targer specific areas. There are some different concerns than when applying it to disc as opposed to photographs, but  the cons section is relevant, including the one:
>
>"Empirical knowledge and skill are needed to create the perfect balance of humidification within the packet for photographic materials. Too little water in the system and the photograph needs long periods of time that may be detrimental to it. Too much water in the system and the photograph can become too saturated or wet with water, beyond dampness."

We developed/used it for laquer and very rare discs that were in good shape and featured no cracking. Even with water soluble adhesive it may need to set for several hours to possibly overnight (in our experience).
