To use this vinyl LP, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Place the record gently on the turntable, and use the tonearm to carefully lower the needle onto the starting groove. Enjoy the music! When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. After use, store the record in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve the sound quality and the blue vinyl's appearance over time. Also, don't stack heavy objects on top of the record as it can warp the vinyl.
