To use this vinyl record, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the stylus onto the starting groove. Enjoy the rich, warm sound of the Jazz Crusaders' music. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. After each use, carefully place the record back in its deluxe jacket to protect it from dust and damage. Store the record vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust particles. But be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid scratching the vinyl.
