Sun got at it, I’ve been reading that sandwiching it between two panes of glass in the oven gives it the best chance but I don’t have any glass lying around
warning: sadness ahead
How?

not sure what i was expecting 
Ive managed to put some weights on top of a board to flatten out what Id call warped records… think thats a goner though 
can we have a side on picture…?

I had one delivered slightly warped and tried flattening it by leaving under some heavy books for a couple of days but it didn’t really help. It was nowhere near that warped though!
Oh god. My pal got given an OG Siamese Dream when we were teenagers. SP are his favourite band. He displayed it in his bedroom window which obviously completely destroyed it that summer. Even the sleeve.
Heat it more and turn it into an electro fruit bowl

I think it’s what Numan would have wanted.
My Paul’s Boutique is a bit warped but nothing like that. Years of variously piling loads of heavy books/other records on top of it seem to have done nothing at all.
try and play it and record the results pls

Sorry mate, that one is beyond help 
The sort of temperature you need to make vinyl pliable will likely just cause more warping damage and the weight you’d need to maintain the pressure to flatten it would likely crack it anyway.
In all honesty since it’s well and truly fucked you could try anything, a hair dryer might even do something.
It doesn’t need fixing, that’s what Aphex Twin is supposed to sound like apparently.
I’m sure I have heard people talk about record flattening machines before, but that isn’t likely to be cheap compared to just buying a new record.
I would probably try the trick where you put it in the oven between two pieces of glass out of curiousity. Only to immediately regret it because it sounds ludicrous.

Could try leaving it in the sun between two pieces of glass?
(Wouldn’t leave the record unattended though)
Finding it very hard to resist saying “stick it in a bowl of rice”.

You’re gonna want to get an all terrain needle to track over that. It’s a goner

There’s those services on ebay that’ll do it for a tenner or something

I say abandon it as a listening experience and turn it into something cool.
