Back in the days of the first oil price shock in the '70s the record companies upped the amount of recycled vinyl in the mix. And some of the greedy bastards didn't even bother to punch out the centers with the paper label. They just ground the whole thing up. I live in Columbia MO where Discwasher had its headquarters. They borrowed the use of a high powered microscope (electron?) from the Univ. of Mo. to examine the grooves of noisy records and were surprised to hairy little fibrous filaments imbedded in and sticking out of the grooves. They were pulp fibers from the ground up record labels.

Maybe an aggressive enzyme that attacks the carbohydrate bonds of paper pulp would help.
