John B Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 I pulled out my Complete Bitches Brew set after not playing it for quite some time and was disturbed to find one of the discs skipping. I took it out of the player and found glue from the packaging on the surface of the disc. What is the safest way to remove this glue without damaging the disc itself? I'd really like to get this disc cleaned up and stored safely in a non-glue dispensing cd sleeve. thanks for any advice! Quote
tonym Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 Hi John, I think this may have been covered a while back over at the old BN forum, anyway, I simply took mine back to the vendor (HMV) and said I wanted a replacement. They obliged within a couple of weeks. I hadn't tried to remove the glue as I wanted them to see what sort of mess it had made to the disc. Best of luck. BTW, my set wasn't that new, maybe 15 or so months old. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 If that doesn't work, try Goo Gone. You can buy a bottle at any food or drug store. It is also great for getting all sticky crap off jewel boxes. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Dude, WD-40. No kidding. Goo gone is pretty powerful stuff. Might eat thru the CD. I've used WD several times with no problems. Just use a little on a cloth and wipe away! Quote
John B Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 Thank you for the replies! I'll see if I can get the disc cleared up this weekend before heading to the store for an exchange, if necessary. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Similar, but related, question: How do you guys go about getting price tag residue off of a) record album covers, FRONT (i.e., older BN's with "Laminated" covers); B) record album covers, BACK (just paper or cardboard); or c) record LABELS (when the IDIOTS put the price tag on the record itself!!!) Thanks! Quote
Parkertown Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 John B/Mr. Furley, The same thing happened to mine a couple years back; not too long after purchasing it. I called the Sony quality control 800 number listed inside, and they sent me a new disc and an entire new box! You might get the glue off the disc this time, but it could happen again. Actually, I used the spare box to make someone else a copy; someone who would never be able to shell out for this set. I inserted a piece of paper down into the cd sleeve to hopefully cover the glue spot. Just FYI. Good luck! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Scott, You bring up a good point. Do any of you guys picture people as their avatars. Example, I always think of Clinton as Groundskeeper Willie. I half expect him to look like that. John B is Furley to me. And it is true, I do have the head of a cat and I wear Star Trek uniforms.

BERIGAN Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 I have found that Prestone silicone spray works better than WD40(that takes forever it seems) or even goo be gone....I have had some luck using it to get stickers off the boxes of used videos, don't know about using that on an lp jacket, might try on a junk lp cover, try putting a black video sticker on an junk lp and take it off later...don't sue me!!!!

Jazzmoose Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 watch ever do you mean??? Just think of me as a two headed lesbian! Ha! I used to joke around saying I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body, but nobody ever got it, and it just made people uncomfortable... Quote
BERIGAN Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Ha! I used to joke around saying I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body, but nobody ever got it, and it just made people uncomfortable... I said the very same thing 20 years ago in high school...no one laughed, and I was so proud of the line..... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 I know what you mean. Let's face it, those damned plebians just don't appreciate our sophisticted humor! Riffraff... Quote
