Then, enjoy the great hardcore and punk music of Black Flag. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface, as this can cause skipping or damage to the sound quality. After each use, carefully return the record to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the record vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static record brush to gently clean it before playing again.
