1. Place a record on the turntable - First, place a regular record on the turntable. This serves as a stable base for the stamp record.

2. Stamp record - Then carefully place the stamp record on top of the regular record

3. Place the needle - Gently lower the tonearm onto the stamp – and a short excerpt of the song “S’isch egal” by “The PEPS” will play.

Spoiler Alert - Scan the QR code on the Stamp Record Souvenir Sheet with Smartphone - Click on the link and it takes you to the postal website to play the recording of the song
