Cryo'ed LP's

I'm getting ready to cryo a boat load of gear and was thinking about getting some of my best vinyl done. Anyone done this? If so what were your results?

If you have not done this to your LP's I'd rather not hear how lame this idea sounds... I'm sure I will anyway.

Yup. According to the owner of Cryogenics International anyway.

Don't be alarmed that the record is warped when you pull it out of the freezer. Allow it to warm slowly to room temp. YRMV.

The proccess is a three day treatment- almost a full day bringing the temp down and another bringing it back up.

Oooops, almost forgot to mention for cryo stuff, best to wait a week or so after getting items back from lab since materials can take some time to recover from the cryo experience and might sound a little "funny" if listened to right away. It all depends.
