To use this box set, simply open the box carefully and take out the records you want to play. Put the record on your turntable and start the music. When you're done, place the record back in its gatefold cover gently to avoid any scratches. As for maintenance, keep the box in a cool and dry place to prevent further wear on the box lid. If you notice any dust on the records, use a soft record brush to clean them. Also, handle the records by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the playing surface.
