Using this vinyl LP is easy. First, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, center it, and then drop the needle onto the starting groove of the side you want to play. Enjoy the rich, warm sound of the analog recording. When you're done, carefully lift the needle and remove the vinyl. To keep your vinyl in great shape, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve. If it gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove dust and debris.
