I have looked at it carefully under a very bright light and reckon that it has suffered from a smokey room many years ago. Its not terrible just annoying. So I think it will have to undergo a super clean and see if it improves a bit more. I have had one or two vinyls like this before and with perseverance have clean up in the end, so fingers crossed.

I'm picturing loosened crap being dragged along the groove by the stylus, until it accumulates into audible clumps of crap. I'm probably wrong, but further cleans as you say, may be the answer.
