To use this vinyl record, place it on a turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and properly set up. Gently place the needle on the record to start playing. When you're done, lift the needle carefully and turn off the turntable. As for maintenance, keep the record in a cool, dry place. Avoid touching the playing surface with your fingers as it can leave oils and dirt. If there's dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Be aware of the scuff on side 2 which may cause a bit of noise at the end, but it won't significantly affect the overall listening experience.
