The record itself has many visible hairline surface scratches but nothing deep. It has been well played but well looked after. It plays through with no jumps or unpleasant noises, just light crackles from start to finish on side 1, which are more audible in the quieter parts. Nothing unusual for a record of this age, I am just trying to be as accurate as I can. There is a tiny click in the space between first and second track on side 1 for a couple of revolutions. The crackles get more audible at the end of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and into the start of You Shook Me. There is even less surface noise on side 2.
