the other day i bought a record, it's a good record, and it looks real new, like the previous owner took good care of it, however when i came home and put it on my turntable the needle started jumping the moment i put it on the run in groove, the record is bent on the first ten seconds. after that it plays fine... however for me, this is unaccaptable, hiss and pop i don't care, but i want to be able to play a reccord from start to finish...
now in the record store i used to frequent i allready heard talk of how to fix records by ironing or even putting it in the oven, none of these ever seemed like a good idea, but now, i'm willing to try
so i thought i'd ask here all the worst ideas to do to a record
let's hear them
please
p.s. the record store is 900 km from my home, and the record wasn't expensive, so going back is no option

I accidentally left one leaning on my lava lamp once.
Re-heating and straightening did not fix it.
