Strange looking vinyl


  Hello,
I got a sealed copy of Eric is Here Eric Burton and the Animals E-4433. When I opened it the record itself has this strange flat black appearance almost like there's some kind of film covering the record, which does not wash off. It plays but is very noisy. I have attached a photo. It was sealed so it is what it is, but I'm just curious have you seen this before and know what it is? Some type of pressing problem?

@deadlift , I have soaked records in break cleaning fluid without any effect what so ever. Denatured alcohol will not touch them either. I have not tried lacquer thinner or acetone I'll leave that to you.

Fungus will grow on records in humid environments but that usually smells really bad.

I would send it back. If you like Eric Burden and the Animals there are some great hi res digital downloads. There are also some reissues available.
