OT, but I just thought I'd mention that warped LPs can be restored to a perfect, or at least perfectly playable condition quite easily. Two glass plates of a suitable size, a weight (of, say, five pounds) and an oven set to around 50C will do it nicely. Leave the layered glass-vinyl-glass-weight in for a couple of hours, remove and put on a flat surface as-is and leave alone cool too room temperature. Hey presto. I've probably rescued 40-50 LPs in this way over the years, with only one or two proving impossible to restore.
