To use this vinyl record, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove. When you're done listening, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. As for maintenance, keep the record away from direct sunlight, heat, and dust. You can clean it with a soft, anti - static record brush after each use. Be careful when handling the record to avoid any new scratches or marks. Also, store it vertically in a record sleeve to prevent warping.
