I have played the 2 records all the way through and listened to all tracks. The sides are rated from Excellent+ to VG+
Side 1 is visually EX+ just a few very light surface rubbings, and play is also EXcellent. Just a few light clicks noted between tracks
Side 2 visually rated EX ,in a very strong light there are a few very light superficial marks. There is a noticeable crackle and occasionally a hop at the end of track Blackbird.  This depended on which stylus I used, though I could spot no marking on the vinyl at this point.  Apart from that one place no ticks or hops or other loud noises on the whole side
Side 3 is visually rated VG a few light surface scratches in one place.  Play was VG+ There were no hops or sticks or other loud noises, but a few occasional quiet clicks and crackles, only really noticeable in the last track.
Side 4 is visually rated VG one short scratch for the first 4mm of track 1, and one distinct deeper scuff of length 5mm on track cry baby.  The side plays extremely well throughout, with only a quiet crackle from the mark on track1, with the exception of cry baby which does not play well.  My stylus gives ten noticeable and regular ticks at the end and into the gap between tracks

Inner Covers
. Excellent condition
. Completely unmarked and undamaged; not original 1968
