Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve carefully to protect it from scratches. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing.
