Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the record, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the surface. Store the LP in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. When not in use, keep it in its repro gatefold sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Don't stack too many records on top of it, as this can cause damage. If you notice any dust on the record, use a proper vinyl brush to clean it before playing.
