Details from Matador's Annotated Discography:

The reel of tape that contained "Somebody's Baby" was in such bad shape that it could only be resuscitated by the miracle of "baking" - actually putting the reel of tape in a convection oven. Real studio guys told us to do this. And it worked! Like Homer Simpson said when describing how he invented the Flaming Homer, "I don't know the scientific terms for it, but Fire Made It Good." -James
