I presume you mean that you spilled a load of sticky, sugary drink on your
record ? :) I can suggest that you actually try _washing_ the record. As far as
I know, tepid, slightly soapy water will do no real damage to your vinyl - I
have in the past practically immersed at least one really filthy record; and if
applied with a soft cloth, say a J-cloth, you can keep the wetness from
soggying the label too. Lay the record on a flat surface covered with
something that won't scratch it, like a towel, then wipe the wet cloth round
it lots of times till all the crap comes off. Dry off with another J-cloth then
clean as usual with a carbon brush to remove any residue left by the cloth.
have fun
