If all you can get is that one recording, there are computer programs that can help clean up the sound on what you were able to get. I've got three of them. I've also got a couple records like that and, the longer you let them sit, the more of the record flakes off. A friend of mine came over years ago with a super rare break-in record from Australia on a 45 that was doing the same thing. I just recorded it as it was and, luckily, that was pretty much the last time it COULD be played! A small part of it wasn't even attached to the metal, anymore and just about ANY pressure could push it away from the metal! Luckily, t stayed put at least long enough for me to get a good recording of it. He eventually sold it a few years later for at least $3000. IF there actually are vinyl copies pressed, I don't know about it. Edited by Break-In Master on 7th Dec 2021, 7:06 PM
