Short answer is no. Just do the best you can. Spend the extra effort trying to track down the unmolested recording if at all possible.
I've had magical results using iZotopes RX2 spectral repair tool to remove artifacts/sounds from a recording before. You may find this useful but in your case the artifact is the remains of what was originally content (eg. that weird buzzing sound used to be a cymbal). You might find removing a sound leaves an empty hole as it were.
Just do the best you can with what you have left. (Don't feel too bad. Would you believe this exact thing happened to the original moon landing video?)
