I clean my LP's with a generous bath of WD-40 and noticed about 21.54% enhancement as compared to compact tapes. I was reading that a slight application of KY Jelly on vinyl can increase this factor to more than 39.94%. I am yet to try this one.

My similar experiments in controlled environment and all other variables being constant yielded enhancement percentages of 21.55% & 39.93% respectively.
Also, when I cleaned my ears with 'Johnson' ear buds, it resulted in an enhancement of 7.56%. In colder weather, when the air is cold & hence denser, the enhancement was 8.32%. Not to mention, the last 2 experiments can also be repeated with the ACD rather than vinyls.

Abhraneel, this has already become gold. I have seen a link last year that Bhoot Bungla LP was sold in ebay on US$ 1,250 (This is not a typo). Am unable to find that link right now.

Here are label guides to 33 rpm 12" vinyl pressings as mentioned in previous posts...

From top left to right and bottom left to right...
(1) Angel Big Logo
(2) Angel Box *
(3) Odeon double groove (red circle)
(4) Odeon flat
(5) Nipper Full Color
(6) Nipper Black and white
* There is little dispute in 2nd pressing I think their ought to be a small Angel pressing which I think I have seen in the past but my knowledgeable friends say there is no small angel in 12" vinyls, only 10" vinyls have small angel. So I have omitted that label. This is NOT authentic guide to first, second or third pressings. Just a rough guide, but I have no reason to doubt it. These are main labels of EMI Co. and covers most of the popular titles. There also few other labels like Regal, Music for pleasure and His Master's Voice which depending on titles can be first copy too.

I have an old 'Chori Chori' (Raj Kapoor movie) record on Columbia Records. It sounds very good & loud. I will share the label for you guys to analyze it!
