how to restaurate a sisters record

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

2 sheets of 12"+ sized glass and an oven on very low, with the door open, give it 30 mins., leave to cool and Bob's yer Aunties live-in-lover! :D

It cured a very wavelike Obscured By Clouds I had in student days.

Or, if you have the same cooking skills that I have, you may be best to put it in a pile of 12" stacked on top of one another for a couple of weeks.

I did this with my copy of Fields Of The Nephilim - Burning The Fields EP which I bought very cheap coz it was warped and unplayable. It is very playable now!

Gentle pressure over a sustained period has never failed for me, so I'd strongly advise you try that before subjecting it to heat. A few heavy books of the right size stacked on top of it is another option here.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
