If you own this Aretha Franklin vinyl record, here's how to enjoy it. First, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, aligning it properly. Use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove of the record. Then, sit back and enjoy the soulful music. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. To keep the record in good shape, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a proper record sleeve. Don't expose it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can damage the vinyl. If the record gets dirty, you can use a soft record cleaning brush to gently remove dust from the grooves.
