Using this Grateful Dead vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable and let the music play. When handling the record, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the vinyl, which could affect the sound quality. Store the record upright in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. After each use, gently wipe the record with a carbon fiber record brush to remove any dust. The gatefold jacket is part of the charm, so handle it carefully to keep it in good condition. Don't expose the record to direct sunlight for long periods as this can also damage the vinyl and fade the jacket's colors.
