How do you fix a vinyl LP?
Question:I recently found a European copy of The White Album (By the way it's NOT for sale, thank you very much!) in my dad's possession. Upon listening to the varying tracks, I remembered that one of the discs had a huge chunk taken out of it. Unfortunately, I found out that The White Album is a double album. I know where the chunk and the main record are; is there any way to mend them back together?
Answers:
There's no way to perfectly mend a record's surface. Anything you do will leave a crack. If you have one that's heat-warped, that can be fixed by putting the record in the oven on a heavy, flat pane of glass and putting the oven on the lowest "warm" setting. (Check the settings on your oven by experimenting once using something that's not The White Album.) But as to your specific problem, I don't think there's a way to get it back to factory-perfect.
Buy it in a CD version
Huge chunk? Probably not. ~
I may be way off, but isn't the value in the jacket, not the record? Do some checking, and if so, just buy a new record, or sell the jacket without it. I apologize if I'm wrong.
