New vinyl warped.
Production mistakes though exceedingly rare can cause a vinyl record to become warped.
Short of buying a replacement of your prized vinyl record there really is not an easy and quick way to ease that pain you felt of looking at a warped or bend record on your hands.
Pick up an early vinyl record from the 50s and they re pleasingly like lead weights.

You probably wouldn t be reading about how to fix this problem if it wasn t already an issue but general prevention is a good place to begin.
It doesn t affect the sound or anything but this weekend i spent like 100 on records and at least 2 of them are warped.
First place the record between 2 sheets of glass and heat it in the oven at 175 degrees fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
Buying new is not always an option either.
But i just got a new regular black album with surface noise that not even the most scratched 40 year old record has.
I m still relatively new to vinyl as well but buying vinyl in stores is a lot better.
Taking it out and you felt that prick in your heart looking at a warped vinyl.
But you won t like the answer.
Yes you can un warp them.
As mentioned above a brand new vinyl record is less often the culprit of playback skipping though it is not unheard of.
I was talking about surface noise before usually on clear coloured picture disc vinyl.
It came in a special box set so shipping this whole thing back again seems useless as i guess that all the records sound like that.
Las warped new vinyl i purchased was the re master of led zeppelin iii about 20 records ago.
This guide to flattening warped vinyl records will hopefully get you on track or at the very least prevent you from irreparably damaging your records.
A lot of the new vinyl i ve bought recently is warped.
At least it s not warped yay they weren t.
If you re in a rush you can quickly fix a warped vinyl record using an oven.
When buying vinyl back in the 70 s 80 s a warped record was rare not anymore.
Obviously with new sealed vinyl you never know if its warped until you take it home thats why i prefer buying new vinyl on amazon as returns are super easy i don t like going to local record stores with slight warps.
All these new fangled special edition 180gm records you new fangled kids spend far too much on used to be the norm.
Then take the glass and record out of the oven and place a heavy object on top of the glass until everything is fully cooled.
Does anyone else buy new records open em up and find them warped.
Let s run through some checks to see if the vinyl might be at fault.
