I like the idea of a dust filter, but fear it would be defeated here. What do you use?

Well it peeled off easily enough and certainly looks cleaner than the other side. The problem I had was where glue had got under the edge and stuck to the other side. There's still a bit I haven't managed to get off so I can't play side 1. I also had great difficulty getting off a little blob that I'm not sure where it came from.

I played the cleaned side and it still sounds dreadful. I don't know whether it's a damaged record I bought or whether it's a bad pressing. How common are / were bad pressings?

I'm tempted to buy the album (Neil Young's Harvest) on CD to see what it should sound like. Yes, I know that comment contradicts itself.

Now listening to Ogden's Nut Gone Flake - "Good God Man, he thorkus".

A household unit with cleanable filter bought in Argos. It makes a little noise so I tend to run it overnight to remove light airborne dust and fibres.
 
Oops, nearly missed the Ogden's reference - Mad John if memory serves.

Undoubtedly bad pressings exist. As long as I could find I prefer japanese pressings,
they are second to none Smile
