    Small dents in record

    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?

    Quick question about cleaning vinyl...

    Is it safe to clean vinyl with a wet washcloth? Also is this an effective method for cleaning vinyl? I’ve tried using anti-static vinyl cleaning brushes but they just seem to push the dust around rather than removing it.
