What does it mean if a vinyl is warped?

I keep reading about warped, and just this week I sold some vinyls on eBay and somebody has informed me the record they bought from me is warped. The record in question had never been played or left the sleeve in 20 years, so I don’t know if that is what caused it. What does warped mean and how can you tell when your record is indeed, warped?!

Thank you - I honestly had no idea.

it means they should have just bought a CD

Seems to suggest on the internet that warped vinyls can be fixed?

It can be fixed, panes of glass and heavy books I think. Or possibly just heavy books. Ive got a couple of warp records which sound fine, so it’s not always a problem.

(it’s just vinyl BTW runs out of thread)

records

bye!

It makes you feel a bit seasick to listen to. Kind of works with some records, horrible on others

makes everything sound like ‘loveless’ by My Bloody Valentine.

Talking of which, the Japancakes take on the album was a bold move.
