A few years back friend got a record on mail order that turned out to be a bit warped on one side. Warped to the point that it would knock the needle out of the groove. It was something on Subsounds or FutureFrontier if I remember correctly. Anyhow, someone (jokingly) suggested that he try wrapping the record in a cloth and ironing it. Having nothing to loose (and being ridiculously ignorant about vinyl at the time) he tried it. He now has a perfectly flat record with a perfectly clear imprint of an iron burned into it...
I guess he should have used thicker cloth ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Matt Kane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 9:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) OUCH! I once had a copy of Silent Phase - Psychotic Funk that was a wee bit warped due to a maladjusted heating system. I tried to bend the warp out. I bent it a little too far and it exploded. :( At 08:18 AM 11/8/2004, lee herrington wrote: >hi folks. i was checking out matt macqueen's site over the weekend. >www.sonicunset.com > >on the site there was a terrible tale of a rare kenny larkin EP that was sat >upon and destroyed. i have a copy of that very EP and i know i would be >quite gutted if it was damaged. anyone else have any tragic tales of >damaged detroit vinyl? > >p.s. > >excellent halloween mixes at www.sonicsunset.com > >check 'em out. > >Cheers, > > > >lee r. herrington >u store it >technical support specialist > >440-260-2245 -- Matt Kane [EMAIL PROTECTED]
