Yo but that is crazy!

Why? Heat? Or don't tell me it happens just like that. Is there a cause?

😕

[AnthonyA1971]

Yeah, 2 reasons. One can be due to heat (remember a vinyl record contains wax) .....or it can be due to a bad pressing. I'll try to fix it and let you know the results! lol 😀 😎

Thanks Ant. 😎

I have another question if you have time. When you fix it, will it skip when it plays? 😕

......my trick would be to lay it flat on a piece of glass and leave it in the boiler room overnight......🙂

Anthony - I once heard if you place the record in an oven at relatively low temperature and monitor the record frequently (so it doesn't melt), you can remove warp. Personally, I have never tried it, but hey, it sounds feasible.
