but theres a lot bro, in excess, not normal, even the record clean with dishwasher d4, especially the old records, and more dirty...

i think if i wash this record with running water and soup it will work?

As stupid as this sounds, it's actually not bad advice at all for removing excess dirt from exceptionally dirty records. It's kinda overkill for your average dirty 12".

There is a how to here for those who feel up to it.

Watchwww.youtube.com

I would strongly suggest buying a couple of cheap charity records to try out the glue first.

As well as this adobe audition has a feature where when you are archiving your vinyl you can easily remove static clicks & pops. (I would suggest you back up the original file, & edit a copy).

You know what? Just give me the dag gum records and I will send you the mp3 versions since you can't apperciate good snap crackle pop. You kids with your 320kb aiff lifestyles are just too much. I will be standing outside my mailbox tomorrow. I better have them or I'm going to find your girlfriend and make sweet love to her with Boys II Men playing in the background.

i like clicks and pops, but not in excess caused by estatic or dirty of years!

so i notice that the dishwasher d4 do not remove very old dirty? or this old records have static electricity accumulated?

sorry for my and english

I've always cleaned records with rubbing alcohol. Try it. I don't know if it is as potent as the things you have already used. But that's besides the point. Are these hip hop records?
yep

and the normal clicks and pops can be static electricity accumulated?

sorry i don't understand you..

Basically what I'm saying is if you have tried all that we have said such as rubbing alcohol, wood glue, distilled water, and the stuff you have, then it's time to give them up because the records may be ruined. It's better to donate the records than trash them. I don't understand how you did not get all I have just explained out of give them to me and I will pay you in gum. All the other disc jokeys knew what I meant. Why did you have a problem with my sentence?
yep
