To use this vinyl record, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Place the record gently on the turntable, center it, and then drop the needle carefully onto the starting groove. When you're done listening, lift the needle gently and remove the record from the turntable. As for maintenance, keep the record in a cool, dry place to prevent further haze or damage. Clean the record regularly with a soft, anti - static brush to maintain sound quality. Also, handle the record by its edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Be careful when handling the cover too, as it already has some minor creases.
