Using this Tower Of Power vinyl LP is easy. First, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the LP on the turntable, align the spindle with the center hole of the record. Then, carefully lower the tonearm onto the beginning of the first track. You're all set to enjoy the amazing funk, soul, and rhythm & blues music. When handling the LP, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, return the LP to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, and keep it upright to prevent warping. If the LP gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust. For more stubborn dirt, you can use a proper record cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth, but be very gentle not to damage the grooves.
