Strange film on new records.

I have three records in my collection that were purchased new, but have a strange sticky film on them that I cannot seem to be able to clean off. This film appears like it is melted onto the surface. I’ve tried alcohol solution, tergitol, scrubbing, ultrasonic. Each cleaning seems to reduce this film, but it still remains. When I have tried to play them, they gum up the stylus. Does anyone maybe know what this film is, and more importantly, how to clean it off?

More Re-animator, I would think.

But then again, he may be crying continually, the fluid might appear alien, and make noises as loud as a train.

Acetone will melt most, if not all vinyls (there are multiple versions/types of 'vinyl'), so probably not the best idea....
