Ohio Players: Vinyl LP

The Black Keys start the New Year by releasing their new single 'Beautiful People (Stay High)'. Alongside this, they announce their twelfth studio album, Ohio Players, named after the legendary Dayton, OH funk band. This multiple - Grammy Award - winning Akron, Ohio band's new album features many collaborative songs. 'Beautiful People (Stay High)' is co - written by Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney, Dan 'The Automator' Nakamura, and Beck, with other collaborations including Noel Gallagher and Greg Kurstin. Carney says the idea of collaborating with friends came as an epiphany. Auerbach adds that collaborating never makes them lose their identity but adds a special flavor. They took their time to make this album right, aiming to create a fun, approachable, and cool record, something many bands don't make after 20 years in the industry. While working on Ohio Players, The Black Keys also DJed 'record hangs' around the world, and the spirit of these parties is in the album's DNA.

Using this vinyl LP is simple. Just place it on a compatible record player. Make sure the player's needle is clean and in good condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, and keep it in its sleeve when not in use to prevent dust and damage. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust particles. Avoid exposing the vinyl to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can warp the record and affect its performance.
