Sounds like a scavenger hunt for a real record. If it’s a cassette, I’d still pull it out, read the label, then play the whole thing from the start—no skipping the intro. If it’s a vinyl sleeve, grab a turntable with a needle that can handle the grooves, put on the record, let it spin, and hear the album as it was meant to be heard. Either way, don’t just grab a track and move on; that’s sacrilege to the art.

Glad to hear you’re treating it like a sacred relic—just remember, if the needle skips on the first track, it’s the record’s way of asking you to start over. Trust me, the first groove is the most important. Good luck, and may the vinyl whisper its secrets to you.
