To use this record, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Place the record gently 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 cover when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Clean the record occasionally with a soft, anti - static record brush. Also, handle the record by its edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the playing surface. If you notice any excessive crackle or playback issues, it might be time to give the record a more thorough cleaning.
