To play this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working order. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to carefully lower the needle onto the groove at the start of the record. When handling the record, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, store the record in its inner sleeve and then place it back in the protective cover. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of the cover and damage to the record. If the record gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean the grooves.
