WARPS ON VINYLS:

A VINYL THAT DOESN’T LAY COMPLETELY FLAT OR HAS A SLIGHT WARP DOES NOT MAKE THE VINYL NON-PLAYABLE MOST VINYLS DO NOT LAY COMPLETELY FLAT AND MAY HAVE SLIGHT WARPS I WILL NOT SELL A VINYL IF THE WARP AFFECTS PLAY

THIS IS PURELY COSMETIC

THEREFORE I CANNOT ACCEPT A VINYL BACK DUE TO A MINOR WARP
