Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on 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 the record away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these can damage the vinyl. After each use, put the record back in its sleeve to protect it from scratches. Also, store the LP vertically to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove the dust.
