Using this vinyl record is easy. First, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Place the record gently on the turntable platter. Use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the start of the record. Sit back and enjoy the music. When you're done, lift the tonearm carefully and return it to its rest. Store the record in its gatefold sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Don't stack heavy objects on top of it. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust from the grooves.
