I would take each 78 out of it's album, clean it then put it in a new 
(clean) sleeve. After that I'd look carefully through the jackets 
(inside the sleeves too) for anything that doesn't belong there if 
they are album jackets with a picture on the front. If not then I'd 
just throw the jackets away.....
