There's a fairly obvious scuff mark on the read-side.  It hasn't
responded to any of my increasingly-vigorous home-made approaches.
Repair kits seem to vary wildly in price, from cloths/fluids to Heath
Robinson mechanical devices. Since I've only found one CD where it's a
problem, I'm minded to go for one of the cheaper solutions (less than
the cost of a new copy of the CD)! Do you have any particular
recommendations?

I don't think so in this case, though I've seen the occasional
pin-hole. (Tried looking for this on Ommadawn, but there's a dark
printed area that could be concealing all manner of sins.)

Thanks.  It happened several years ago - 'see the evidence'
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianritchie/195396872) :-) My arm's
slightly less flexible now, but that's about it.
