@adoran2 Some friends of mine in the 1960s were dancing on a dock in the hot sun, playing Autosalvage on a portable record player. When the record got too warped to play, they’d put it back in its jacket, walk around on it to flatten it, dip it in the lake to cool it off, then play it some more. There’s your solution!
@JMaxB@adoran2 I remember reading about putting the record in between two pieces of glass and leaving it out in the sun to flatten it. Never tried it, though, so don’t hold me to it.
@adoran2 No, he didn’t replace it. It probably was something like Blood Sweat & Tears’ debut, but after 56 years, I’ve forgotten the details, remembering only the grudge.
@adoran2 way back in 1988. So, the trauma has passed 😀. I’m reluctant to admit that it was a DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince record. My tastes have since matured
@adoran2 Yet another reason why vinyl is such a poor/stupid medium for storing music… I once owned thousands of records.
@Whalley_Ranger I only got into vinyl a few years ago. I get so much pleasure out of my collection.
@adoran2 Just for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch
@JMaxB That’s amazing 👏
@adoran2 a real risk! I had a favourite record get all warped when I left it on the player in the sun
@mroutley Oh, that’s so sad! What was it? Did you get another copy?
@adoran2 guessing they’re prone to melting? Good job my vinyl‘s only available for Christmas
@adoran2 I somehow knew you were a dad based on this post alone. Well done.

@JMaxB Blimey. The horror of what that must have sounded like at the end of it! 😱
@adoran2 This thread reminds me that I never forgave Mark Johnson for melting a favorite LP that I lent him ~56 years ago.
@ReaderJohn 😂 Did he replace it? 1966; I’m going to take a wild guess and ask whether it was Revolver?
