What's with white stains on new vinyl?

I've been noticing that on a fair amount of new LPs there are white streaks/stains near the outside of the LP (typically over the first track or two).

They don't clean off and are sometimes audible, sometimes not.

Anyone else notice these and/or know what they're from?

I see these stains on products from many different studios. I think 30% of the LPs I purchase have this. Last one was from Matador records.

Not sure it's the same problem as the Music Matters, but I'll check that out since I have a few of those LPs that I haven't opened yet.
