To play this 12 - inch vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is set to 33 ⅓ RPM. Gently place the record on the turntable platter and use the tonearm to carefully lower the needle onto the starting groove of the side you want to play. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface, as this can cause scratches and affect the sound quality. After each use, store the record in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl record cleaning solution and a soft, lint - free cloth to gently clean the surface in a circular motion.
