Hi, About half the time it is grunge on the record and can be cleaned. The other half is either a bad cartridge/stylus or actual damage on the record from a bad cartridge/stylus. Even when there is damage it is sometimes possible to get a new cartridge with a stylus that has a smaller radius (like a micro ridge one) that will reach further into the grooves and extract decent sound. That however can be a costly solution.

Good Listening
Bruce
