This was not uncommon with records pressed by RTI pre-2009... Almost every one of my AP Blue Notes have this issue... Cisco also is known to have this issue and some Classic Records releases.
Glue from inner sleeves leeching onto records
I have gone through some of my collection of 'audiophile' records that were pressed at RTI pre-2010 (Cisco, Analog Productions, Classic Records etc.) when they used an inner sleeve that was made up of paper on the outside and a poly liner on the inside, which was held together with a line of glue about 1" from the perimeter.
I have found quite a few records with these sleeves where the glue has leeched onto the vinyl. I tried cleaning it off at first with my Degritter RCM, but it did not remove much. I also have a Keith Monks Gemini RCM, but it won't be ready for use for a little while.
I was curious if maybe using one of the 'glue' record cleaning process might work for this? I never thought I would try such a cleaning method, but it may be the best for this scenario?
Has anyone had this issue and found a successful way to clean the glue off the records?
Thanks
