To use this vinyl record, simply place it on your turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle onto the groove gently. Make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. When handling the record, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. As for maintenance, store the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean the record periodically with a soft, anti - static brush to keep it playing well. Be careful not to scratch the sleeve further, as it already has some existing marks.
