Disc 7 on my copy of Ayler's "Holy Ghost" has a bunch of glue (?) on the outer half inch of the disc. I need help. Kensington "screen cleaner" didn't cut it.

If it a water soluble glue like Elmer's white glue, you should be able to remove it by applying water to it. If it is a more substantial glue, I'd try lighter fluid, a solvent that works wonders for removing stickers. Lighter fluid is usually available at drug stores and smoke shops. Ronsonol is the most popular brand. I don't like Goo Gone - it leaves a residue that's hard to remove.

I second the Ronsonol suggestion. It's a "pure" lighter fluid which is what you want. In drug stores and the like they keep it near the cigarettes (if there's one register that handles them head to it.) It's in a small yellow bottle, roughly 4 inches tall. Ask the clerk who's guarding the smokes for it.

I assumed this thread was about the Charlie Christian or Louis Armstrong Hot Five box set's. When I purchased them, I had to send the discs back for replacements.

On the other hand, I bought the Captain Beefheart set from Revenant, had the same problem with one of the discs, but they wouldn't exchange it. :angry:
