Play grade:

Side 1 
Track 1 -  A very strong start.  Some light ticks can be heard about a minute in that lasts for about a minute, a continuous, very light tick.  Drum solo is strong, clean and clear of any background noise.  Finishes strong, nothing distracting the listener.

Track 2 - About 30 seconds in a few ticks, not continuous.  Goes away after a minute of the track.  Beautiful piano solo, music at the forefront, nothing distracting here.  Some light pops heard here and there.  They fade away and it ends very clear and clean.

Track 3 -  Some ticks here and there at the beginning, a pop at 21 seconds in.  The piano section plays with some noise behind it, not overpowering, but you can hear it.  Some crackles here during this piano section, but the music is at the forefront.  1:45 in and there's a continuous tick.  The ticks and crackles continue to the end.  Behind the music for sure.

Track 4 -  Starts with those same crackles heard.  Pop at 30 seconds in.  Drum solo and it's clear here, nothing behind it.  This plays beautifully throughout the song.  Music out front, nothing behind it to distract you.  Drum solo continues, very clean and clear.  Phenomenal sound here.  Fade out is clear and clean.  Wonderful!

Track 5 - Starts just a strong, quiet background with the music up front.  Consistent pop about a minute in for about 5 seconds, then goes away.  The track is clear here.  Piano plays without anything behind it.  Some light pops start at about 2:40 in, they disappear at about the 3:00 mark.  Music is strong here and ends strong.

Track 6 - Starts very nice, clear and clean.  A minute in and it's just as strong.  Some pops around 1:15, they disappear.  Piano part plays very nicely here.  Sporadic ticks, nothing overpowering.  2:10 into the song, a continuous tick for about 15 seconds, it goes away.  Clear here at this part. 

Side 1 Grade: EX
 

Side 2 
Track 1 -  Some pops and clicks at the start, they clear up 20 seconds in.  About 1 minute in some ticks heard.  They clear up at 1:15.  Plays nicely here, strong to the end.  3:06 and a persistent tick, ends at 3:15.  Some ticks behind it.

Track 2 - Same ticks heard here at the beginning.  Clears up around 40 seconds in.  Some ticks at the one minute mark, continuing.  Pops heard at 1:30 in.  A jump at 2:28 in with some pops behind it.  It clears up here, plays nicely. Ends nicely and clear and clean.

Track 3 - Pop right at the beginning before the song starts.  Plays nicely then, nothing distracting the music here, a minute in and it's strong.  Continues through the track, plays great.  Music drops at 2:20 and a tick is heard for a few seconds, then the bassline kicks in and it's clear.  Some ticks at the 3 minute mark, they disappear.  Song ends nicely with minimal background noise.

Track 4 - Some ticks at the beginning of the track.  Drum solo is clear and clean.  This part plays very nicely, deep into the track at the 2 minute mark and it's just as strong.  Drum solo fades down and at this low part of the track, you hear nothing behind the music, no pops or clicks.  3 1/2 minutes in and the track is still strong, the dips in the volume reveal nothing behind it, no distracting noise at all.  A strong track here, and plays beautifully.

Track 5 - Great start here, just as strong here as the end of the previous track.  Jump at 1:27.  Some light ticks behind this afterwards, they disappear around 2:15 mark.  Ends with just faint noise behind the music.

Track 6 - Some ticks heard at the beginning.   They can be heard faintly until about 1:15 into the track, then disappear.  The track plays very strong here.  At 2:30, just as strong.  Ends nicely.

Side 2 Grade:  VG due to that one jump

Overall grade:  VG+

Where did we acquire this record?

some of these have radio stickers on the cover.
