Ooooohhhh, what a bad buzz. I left a stack of records sitting in a milk crate over the last week or so, sort of propped at an angle, and in just that amount of time they've managed to bow considerably. They *sound* ok, but you can't cue them up for shit, because they won't lie flat on the platter. Please, please please tell me this isn't permanent. What's the best way to correct the situation? Store them upright, pressed tightly together (eg on a shelf)? Flatten them with a weight for a day or 2? All advice gratefully accepted. relentlessly phil

You can correct a storage warp like that over a period of time, by storing the records padded -vertically- (not "up and down"). Not so tight that the records will put a ring on the sleeves though. --Mark

or I've never tried this myself, but a vinyl-obsessed friend recommends getting two sections of plate glass, putting the record inside and leaving it out in the sun for half-an-hour or however long it takes to permanently flatten the record. (obviously, don't wait too long or the grooves will melt right into oblivion). Good Luck... ----- Groove On. ----- John Bush.

Yes, your on the right track with this technique only if your paying strict attention to the vinyl. Don't set it out... go have a drink... play a few rekkids...then OH MY GOD! MY VINYL!! I suggest using a hair dryer. This is a much more controlled medium. I've have saved many a peoples vinyl with this technique (mostly DJ's who THINK they know what they're doing).
