At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command Repress


Recommended Posts

Funny bout that.... I ordered from there, says it was supposed to arrive by June 17. Went to check progress.... Order STILL hasn't shipped.

Contacted Amazon.fr, and they told me they were out of stock, so my order never shipped after all. So at this point, I might as well just wait for the PO.... as I assume if/when the French Amazon ever gets it, it's just gonna be the same retail version as the UK Amazon, but at an inflated price.  :angry:

 

Insert your own "We hate the French" joke here....

Same here...

So the sun glaring through a hole in my blinds melted both records to fucking hell. Neither are playable. So yes, cram your records against each other because any room to lean is a potential fucking hazard.

Yay.

Going to try that dumbass glass/oven trick because fuck it. Not like I can make these any worse.

PS: This is my luck all of the time. $40 down the goddamn drain.

Looking at the pic i think a clamp would bring the the warp down quite a bit. Before going full out oven chuck it between two big books and give it a go over with a hairdryer and heat the books.

Sorry man, storing records in the desert is a crapshoot. It got to a 110 in my part of the Mojave last week!

I'm not spending more than $20 to fix it. I got glass plates from Home Depot today. Will report back.

At this point fuck it. They're unplayable anyways. I really do appreciate the help and suggestions but my options are limited and I'll take one for the team.

If I can vouch for this technique maybe I'll save others a lot of heartache!

I've found some time on my shelf between my other records has helped flatten out some of mine (at least to the point where I can play them).

 

I can't tell you the time frame, but I would imagine it takes a while.  No harm in letting it sit with your other records if the glass plate trick doesn't work anyway.

I did the glass plate track but used mother nature instead or an oven. Left them out in 95° direct heat for 20 minutes each with 12lb weights on the center then for another 20 but indoors. So far so good. Getting some light static and tiny skips every so often but they're at least playable now.

Learn from my mistakes friends. ANY tiny light source creeping into your windows during the summer is a potential record killer! Board them bitches up!

This looks so terrifying to me. Congrats on the semi-success!

I like how this classy individual offers up his bad copy for $2 less than retail knowing "THESE RECORDS SKIP! Badly! Both sides of both discs. I've adjusted my table any way I could and I still cannot get them to play properly. Very disappointing, given the gigantic hassle I went through to get this album."

 

What a class act!

Did you make sure to point out in your Ebay listing for those records that you put weights on top of them to re-flatten them? Pretty scummy move, man.

Then he lists them on Ebay as "THESE RECORDS SKIP! Badly! Both sides of both discs."
