I bet this does wonders for groove shape. In particular, the top part of
the groove would be deformed, possibly even creating a lip bending over
the groove. Unless you enjoy distortion, I think exchanging the record
where you bought it is a better solution. (If it was a used record, it
won't matter anyway)
