To use this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, center it, and then lower the needle onto the starting groove. As you listen, be aware that there's a mark on Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal, so you might hear a bit of distortion for about 20% of that track. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, carefully clean the record with a soft, anti - static brush to keep it in the best possible condition. Store the record in a cool, dry place, and make sure the cover is properly closed to protect it from dust and further wear.
