    If you hang out on rec.music.reggae any, you'll find lots of tips for
    "correcting" records w/this & other interesting problems (kind of necessary
    when you deal w/a lot of Jamaican pressings).

    I don't think anyone's come up w/a cure for when your record is pressed
    w/mass quantities of marijuana in the vinyl-- that & (not cock-)roaches has
    been an actual problem w/some Jamaican records, so hey, things could be worse!
