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 lower the needle onto the start of the record. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm carefully and return it to its rest. As for maintenance, keep the record in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. You can clean the record with a soft, anti - static brush regularly. Be careful not to touch the playing surface with your fingers as the oils can damage the vinyl. Also, store the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
