To use this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle onto the lead - in groove. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm carefully and return it to its rest position. As for maintenance, always handle the record by the edges to avoid fingerprints and dirt on the playing surface. Store the record vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent further warping. Also, clean the record regularly with a proper vinyl record cleaning brush to keep the sound quality at its best.
