Re: bouncy wave form due to warped vinyl

You could try to ease the warps in the vinyl. Place the album in its sleeve and cover between two sheets of flat wood/plywood or whatever in a warm room and place some heavy (but not too heavy) weights on top. Leave in the warm room for several days and then try playing it.
