So at what temperature do we think our precious vinyl records would warp?

Obviously you don't want to leave the rarest record in the world on a chip shop counter that would be stupid !!!!!!

But seriously do we need to watch were we store our records now that 40C temperatures, in the shade, hit UK?

I wonder if that would work to de-warp a record if you left it on a flat surface such as glass?🤓

A couple of years ago I was playing on a hot roof terrace with no sun protection, I watched as my copy of Pamoja literally began to warp in front of my eyes as it played, the stylus riding the ‘waves’ of the warp as I scrambled to find some cover. Thankfully the record flattened-out as I found shade which I was amazed at. Take care out there! 🌞

This is handy for anyone planning to leave their records out on the ground on the hottest day of the year 😂
