If you're planning to play this 1973 red vinyl record, first, make sure your turntable is clean. Gently place the record on the turntable and set the tonearm carefully. When handling, hold the record by its edges to avoid leaving fingerprints. Since there's a faint ring - wear on the cover, it's best to store it in a proper record sleeve to prevent further damage. After each use, clean the record with a soft, anti - static brush. This will help maintain the sound quality and keep the record in good condition over time.
