So I got a vinyl copy of The Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle today and noticed that there are about 4 very small dents on side A. I noticed these dents after playing the record 2 times so they don’t seem to affect the audio quality of the vinyl. Has anyone else experienced a dented record?

Dent?

New to me.

I have rings of old rubber cement on the first track of some LP's.

Must be from my college days of spray mounting drawings to foam core board.

Need to find a safe removal method.

Usually caused by a small air pocket that expanded and then collapsed during the pressing. Most don't hurt a thing as long as your cartridge/tonearm can track through them.

There’s one big one that causes a bass thump through my speakers when the stylus hits it but aside from that they don’t seem to affect the sound quality.
