Musty Smelling Records


I've been getting into analog more, and have noticed some of the used records I've bought have a musty smell. Is there a safe way to remove this? I think it's mostly in the jacket, maybe not the records themselves. If stored next to records that don't smell, will they all become contaminated? Is this supposed to be considered in the ratings (i.e. is it proper to grade an otherwise excellent but musty smelling record near mint)? Or is this just part of the "charm"?

Photon - Thanks for the tip - that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, but had no idea how to find. Really cool website.
