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 it. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as these can warp the record. After each use, store it in its sleeve and then in a cool, dry place. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static record brush to gently clean it from the center to the outer edge. Remember, this is a limited edition with only 750 copies, so handle it with care to keep it in great condition for years of listening pleasure.
