I have played the 2 records all the way through and listened to all tracks. Side1is visually EX, just a very few superficial marks. Play of most of the side is EX, dropping to VG just for track3 (a number of clicks) Side 2 is visually EX. One noticeable tick in pass me by, and a little crackle in the gap following it. Side 3 and 4 are visually VG. No deep scratches but some scuffs and a lot of light surface rubbing. On play no hops, no jumps, no sticks and no loud ticks. The surface rubbing on sides 3/4 does however give a background crackle that can be heard in the quiet periods, noticeable mostly in the gaps between tracks.
