Full disclosure: This LP has an annoying amount of surface noise on my setup. I'm sure if it went through a wash it would sound better but I still don't have one. There aren't any deep scratches but several light scratches that you can see under direct light at the right angle. This is an original 1976 copy. I will ship it out at the end of next week. Minimum of 100 posts to enter with an "In".

This is the exact version: http://www.discogs.com/Rush-2112/release/7046607

    Unfortunately you can't wash out scratches it's a permanent thing. You should get an album frame and hang it on your wall. I have done that with a couple of mine that were scratched.

    I'm in for a chance to clean it up on my RCM!

    Nice karma.

    I do have records that look worse and don't have as much noise. I didn't mean to make the OP sound like I was saying a RCM would get the scratches out. I think it's a combo of being dirty and the light scratches, I really think that it would be much better after a clean. It's not super beat up or anything I just didn't want anyone to think it's mint ++

    No amount of cleaning will help if it was a lousy pressing....

    Sorry, it's just been a crazy week. Head chef's mom in the hospital so he hasn't been at work and I've taken his place in the mean time. I'll do a drawing right now.
