To use this vinyl record, just place it on your turntable and let it spin. When handling, make sure to hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. As for storage, keep it in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Since the cover has a small tear, be gentle when opening and closing it to prevent the tear from getting bigger. If the sound quality ever seems to degrade, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove any dust or debris from the grooves.
