First place the record between 2 sheets of glass and heat it in the oven at 175 degrees fahrenheit for 3 minutes. There is a phenomenon called vinyl memory that the audio writers in the 70s and 80s used to write about in the context of warped vinyl. Then take the glass and record out of the oven and place a heavy object on top of the glass until everything is fully cooled. Not much more than the original.

It tracks the groove fine and doesn t skip or bounce or anything and sounds great.
