(tho they may really have hailed from Breckenridge or someplace...) Lola >> I'm not positive, where they are from but they are the Michigan group who put out a handful of decent singles. Maybe you know more about them then I do, I have 3 45's by them. Plus there is also Dwight Douglas and the Jayhawkers who did Interstate 45 that Lenny Drake of the Thundertones was in. Is that the same Jayhawkwers?

In my experience isopropyl evaporates on contact and is harmless. I started using it after reading an article in a music magazine and have now used it for years without any problem. And that includes on all the Beau Brummels, Count Five 45s I've managed to find. No problem at all. Isopropyl is not an instant panacea, and so for example that bashed copy of 'Dirty Water' will still look like an ex-jukebox item afterwards. Many years ago I took some cotton and acetone (at least I think that's what it was called) to a Little Bob Story ep. The result - TOTAL MELTDOWN on impact. Fortunately a spare copy of the said record was soon located. On a related note certain unscrupulous record dealers here in the UK use lighter fuel to *skim* records. Now while that brings up a nice shinny/new looking disc, there definitely is vinyl damage. Anyone else want to throw in their 2p/2c worth? Steve C. >> Howdy Troops! I've been reading this ordeal for a while so I guess I will put in my 2 cents. I have always used alcohol to clean records. Some old Doo-Wop cat told me it is fine to use as long as it is 70% or less. If you use the 90% you could probably cause damage. When I am compiling a tape of scratcy 45's I record the things wet, and it helps like you wouldn't believe. Then as soon as it is done I use a cotton cloth to dry it off completely. I have never had a problem. Chris from the Volcanos said he uses WD40 for those scratchy 45's but I am too afraid of that. What do you know about that.
