@bob540,

Regarding your warped lp.... I would not recommend an iron. I think the best path forward with the least expense would be to get two pieces of plate glass. After cleaning the lp, put it between the glass pieces and place in your oven on the (very) lowest setting for 40 minutes to start with. Don't preheat. When times is up, (let it cool off in the oven), then take it out and check. After checking it's progress, adjust for a 10 minute  longer time period. Repeat. If it hasn't become flatter, I'd increase the temp 10 degrees, then start over at 40 minutes. I think you can get the picture now. It's gonna be a trial and hopefully, no error process.Good luck!

 
I feel like one has more control over the process with the oven method.

Glad I don't have that issue to worry with now.
Van Halen "Fair Warning"

Son Volt  "Okemah and the Melody of Riot"  again.

@reubent,
I just got in Son Volt "Live at the Bottom Line" dbl lp/ RSD 2016/ QRP. (from the "Trace" era)
I did not know of it's existence until recently. I'm planning on listening this weekend.
James Gang "Thirds" original pressing
The War on Drugs "A Deeper Understanding"  Outstanding!

In a little while...

Son Volt  "Live at the Bottom Line"
Up soon...

Eels  "With Strings" //Manchester 2005

Mary Gauthier  "Live @ Blue Rock"
The Son Volt lp is sounding very, very good!

If you're a fan...highly recommended!
The Mary Gauthier lp...

I ordered it around 6months ago. It finally came in about 2 months ago.

Hell yeah!....... Well worth the wait!
Peter Gabriel  "US"  The original EU dbl/lp.

@boxer12,

Is Lambchops's lp really named FLOTUS, or is that a political maneuver?
@reubent ,

I meant remarking on our current listening experience.

If we're this far off in our understanding, well...…………..
Uber,

On my 4th week out of work and my application was (just) approved. Thankfully, it's retroactive.
For any Aoife O'Donovan fans...........she's live streaming the entire lp of "Nebraska" on Sunday. I assume if you've registered with YepRoc or her own site, you just click on the live stream tab in your email. Hope I don't forget!

Sun Kil Moon "Twin Cities"
Uber,

If that’s close enough for a visit on you’re way back (if it’s near/on a weekend), you’re welcome to come by.

Oops! forgot about social distancing again. The invite is an open one.
It’s been a while since I listened to these two TT lps. I’ve worked my way through them now with a new US clean and a new steam on the Live lp.

Made a substantial difference, especially to the Live lp which previously had a constant mild surface noise. Now it's mostly gone.
"Who Shot John?" really is a breath of fresh air, IMO, for a good blues/rock record these days. SQ = EX!
@tomic601 ,

Don't know if it would be worth it to you.....I'll flatten/clean it if you pay shipping both ways?
......................................
@reubent ,

Starting to worry about you're culling priorities?
Finished listening to "Intriguer" after it’s first US clean. Noticeably better.

John Hiatt "Eclipse Sessions". Another of my lps that didn’t get a proper US clean. Will do later. Still sounds great!
LP 3 from Tedeschi/Trucks "Live" on the tt now. While it took a while to get these lps to my standards of cleanliness, it was totally worth it! 

"Eclipse Sessions" in the cleaner now.
Montrose "S/T" Friday Music version. (Yes sir)


Comm on',  I had to own this version. It has bass!
@boxer12 

 I own that lp.  

……………………………………………..

Currently listening to..

The Turtles "It Ain't Me Babe"  / White Whale/mono....very nice!


Up soon...The Clash  "Sandanista"  EU pressing



I had my doubts when I ordered the RSB lp, upon listening, I'm glad to say it is a darn good record. Nice sonics and a real party atmosphere. Recommended!
Maybe it’s the Holiday?????

I’m now listening to Royal Southern Brotherhood "Don’t Look Back" Devon Allman, Gregg’s son. Interesting, probably only to me, is that the cover art is very similar to Bad Company "Burn in' Sky".


Although I rarely listen, I'm putting on my original MFSL Pink Floyd "DSOTM", that has just gone through my latest cleaning method.
