Wood glue is probably reasonably safe, at least compared to chemicals.
Without feeling it I don't know if the record has change composition in that spot, or if it is just sticky glue on the surface.
Nice record, good luck.

it's not sticky at all. i fear the composition has changed. if that's so i guess that's permanent?
damn!!!

I say, don't give up yet. Even if the damage can't be entirely removed visibly, cleaning with the right solvent might significantly improve sq. I have a few LPs with that plastic imprint problem, but it isn't that common ime. I've never tried to get rid of it.
If it's any consolation, that LP was reissued last month, for the first time on vinyl since 1992...
funny thing is that i bought the re-issue and the pressing is horrible! lots of pit marks all over the vinyl and i have gone through 3 copies. i pulled out my 1992 Holland pressing cause i was thinking to myself "well at least i still have this awesome pressing from 1992".
D'OH!
"spin the black circle!"
I can believe that. Reissues these days are pretty much a lottery. If the problem's not a deteriorated master tape, it's a botched remastering, or non-existent QC at plants working flat out beyond capacity using over-pressed stampers with low-grade materials to maximise profit.
For every reissue created with care and attention to detail, there are 20 cash-ins with one or all of the above flaws. It's never fun to replace a well-played 50 year old record with a reissue that sounds worse and is actually noisier!
Possibly. Time to try the glue I guess.
FWIW I have seen glue that was spilled on to rusty/tarnished steel, it clean it right up.
Worth a shot.
