To use this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable platter. Then, carefully lower the tonearm onto the record's edge. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm off the record and return it to its rest. As for maintenance, always handle the record by its edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Keep it in its sleeve when not in use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Also, clean the record occasionally with a proper vinyl cleaning brush to keep the sound quality top - notch.
