Using this 4LP box set is easy. Just grab your record player, carefully take out a vinyl, and place it on the turntable. Lower the needle gently to start enjoying Joni Mitchell's rare recordings. When handling the vinyls, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on them. Store the records in a cool, dry place, standing them upright in their sleeves to prevent warping. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve and then in the box. And don't forget to have a look at the accompanying book to get a deeper understanding of this special era in Joni Mitchell's career.
