Using this vinyl record is easy. First, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, aligning it properly. Lower the tonearm carefully onto the starting groove of the record. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm and return it to its rest position. Then, take out the record and place it back in its sleeve. As for maintenance, always handle the record by its edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Clean the record regularly with a proper vinyl record cleaning brush or solution to keep it in good shape. Store the record vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Also, be careful when opening the gatefold sleeve of the early pressings to avoid any damage to the insert or the sleeve itself.
