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 carefully lower the needle onto the start of the groove. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm off the record and return it to its rest position. As for maintenance, keep the record in its original PVC cover when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Clean the record with a soft, anti - static brush regularly. Avoid touching the grooves with your fingers to prevent dirt and oils from affecting the sound quality.
