This 1984 Warner Bros. promotional vinyl single is a real gem for music lovers. To use it, just place it on a compatible turntable set at 33 ⅓ RPM. Drop the needle gently on the record to start playing either the long or short version of 'When Doves Cry'. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the playing surface, as dirt and oils can 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 to prevent warping. And remember, this is a promotional copy, so it's not for sale.
