Don't Leave Your Records in the Sun...

I don't think there's a Song Title Challenge going on right now, but if there were, this would be for it...

"Don't leave your records in the sun
They'll warp and they won't be good for anyone ... ...
...
Well I had this record that I really did like
It was the last one they had in the store
I left it laying on the car back seat
And now it just won't play no more
"

Aside: this is an old record, nothing to cry over. I intentionally lefy it in the back wondow of my car during a recent hot day.
brings back memories....:)

Memories indeed!

Blimey....the last time I saw something like this would have been in the mid 80's when I left a record under the drivers seat of my 1971 Mini...though it would be alright, was a bit floppy instead. Since then I've taken all due care!

I've had that once in the 60's ;-)

oh no, oh on, I'm crying, that is one of the worst crimes I can imagine!!!!!!!! (but I have some old memories from the 80's too, I grew up pretty quickly after that!)

Poetic song advice... placing it on a turntable, needle down was brillant.

I never realised that they are so vulnerable Did you do this just for hte photo shoot? Works a treat for the song title.

@amyk @dutchothotmailcom @graemestevens @ludwigsdiana @koalagardens @kvphoto @helenhall Thanks all!! Yes, I did this on purpose. A while back, I received a box of free records, probably 50-75. A few gems, mostly not. This was in the throw-away stack, a late 50;s polka record. I was trying to think of creative things to do, and a warp experiment ended up on my list. that massive warp represents 1 day in my car's back window, on a day with temperatures in the high 90's. I expected more of a ripple type of impact, but ended up with 1 massive warp. The record, of course, is now unplayable.
