Fleetwood - twinned with Royston Vasey
1st step is to clean the record. Then wind the record backwards over where it jumps and see if that clears it - if it is shite suck in the groove it may well dig it out or if its a minor scratch it may sort it.

If this doesn`t cure it check the vinyl for a visible scratch - if there is one then it is likely beyond repair.
