To use this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the record's groove. Enjoy the music! When handling the record, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the record vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing. And be careful with the gatefold cover as it already has some minor marks and stains, so avoid further damage when opening and closing it.
