Back in my mis-spent youth, I did just such a thing!  An old mono
cartridge dragged on the record (Jack Benny / Dennis Day
Christmas LP) but the damage was done...messed up Jack's
opening remarks before I was able to stop the slaughter.
Rest of the record is OK.

  The gray haze might be severe groove damage  caused by playing 
  with a heavy tracking tone arm and a badly worn or chipped  stylus . 

  Only an inspection under a microscope such as is used on disc  mastering 
  lathes can diagnose the situation accurately . It has been my  experience that 
  this kind of damage occurrs while someone is trying to listen to  the 
  record and wondering why it sounds so bad . Then they look at the record and  see 
  that grey haze in the area that has been played and immediately they stop  
  playing the record . Therefore the damage ends abruptly and the rest of the  
  groove is fine . There is no cure for this damage .

  I will be glad to  examine this record if you can send it to me for 
  inspection .
