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 starting groove. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, carefully return the record to its cover. To maintain it, store the record in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean the record occasionally with a soft, anti - static brush to keep it in good playing condition. Also, be gentle when opening and closing the laminated gatefold cover to prevent further laminate lift.
