xschurzix Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 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. Insert your own "We hate the French" joke here.... Same here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 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. http://www.imgur.com/K3RHxQX.jpeg 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I have an extra sealed copy of this if anyone is interested. It's the US RSD variant. Hit me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before going full out oven chuck it between two big books and give it a go over with a hairdryer and heat the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to a 110 in my part of the Mojave last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I left them outside yesterday for a few hours with old highschool yearbooks and 40lb weights on them and nothing. Where can I find a clamp? Amazon have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Where can I find a clamp? Amazon have them? I was under the impression that amazon had everything. I've never looked for human organs, but I know when the time comes that I have to, amazon will come through for me. mxv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 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.

Shitty Rambo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 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!

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."

dantheriver Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 HOLY SHIT WHO CARES Yea, really not sure why this matters. Dude listed it at barely less than retail and basically described it as non playable. Surely nobody other than somebody who wants to frame this is gonna buy it anyways, right?
