To use this vinyl LP, first make sure your record player 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 groove. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm carefully and return it to its rest. As for maintenance, store the record in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Avoid touching the grooves with your fingers as this can leave dirt and oils that may affect the sound quality. If the record gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean the grooves gently.
