oh you're joking
mine just arrived yesterday after ordering it straight from harmonia and it's warped as fuck, just like one of the other 12"s i got from them. learn to pack a fucking record!
grrrrr
is there any way to de-warp a record?
This isnt gonna fix it entirely, but should help. Be extremely careful with this though, you could fuck it up worse.
Get a large stack of books and something flat larger than a 12...
warm the record, out of the sleeve and so the record is sitting on the edges created by the warp not on the curve created by the warp (does that make sense?), in the sun, preferably somewhere also flat, like a table near a window that gets alot of light (if this wont work, you can use a hairdryer, but be super careful)...
Leave on table, put back in sleeve, put wood (or glass or whatever flat thing you found) on top and stack a bunch of books on it...
Let sit for a few hours and it should tame the warp...
The other way Ive done it is to over pack your record crate, warm the warped record like said above, sandwich it in the middle of the crate and let sit for a few days.
Ive done it a few times, with mixed results. It might take a few times.
