To use this vinyl album, simply place it on your turntable and drop the needle gently on the start of the track. When handling the album, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the vinyl, which can affect the sound quality. For storage, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of the cover. If you notice any loose tape on the cover, you can carefully re - attach it. Also, be gentle when opening and closing the gatefold cover to avoid making the tear on the rear worse.
