A3:  THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE (plays with clicks/ticks and static throughout -- no skips/no jumps -- features some virtuoso guitar)
A4:  BOSS CITY (plays with the occasional tick/click here and there -- nice rhythm wah-wah guitar -- no jumps/no skips -- best playing track on SIDE 1 with regards to audio quality)

B1:  THANK YOU (plays with 3 jump skips in the earlier part of the track and 2 jump skips towards the end during the guitar solo -- plays with some static/light ticks/clicks and such throughout...more so towards the end of the track -- track features some really nasty wah-wah guitar throughout and a nice long drum+percussion break)
B2:  YESTERDAY (this BEATLES cover plays with 1 jump skip in the beginning of the track -- plays with mostly light static throughout as well as thuddy clicks/ticks and some pops throughout)
B3:  TAKE FIVE (plays with 1 jump skip in the beginning -- plays with some clicks/ticks/pops throughout -- nice rhythm wah-wah guitar)
B4:  ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? (plays with the occasional click/tick and such throughout -- nice rhythm wah-wah guitar and drum solo -- no skips/no jumps -- best playing track on SIDE 2 with regards to audio quality)

• VINYL:  The vinyl is visually FAIR=POOR=BAD (with lots of scratchings and such on each side -- 1 scratch stretches from the outer deadwax area to the inner deadwax area on SIDE 2).
• AUDIO:  See above for a detailed review of the audio quality of each track -- the discs plays with a number of jump skips as well as ticks/clicks/pops and such throughout.
  
• LABELS:  The labels are VG+ (with spindle rub lines that cannot be seen in the photos).
  
• COVER:  SEE PHOTOS (please either DOWNLOAD or RIGHT-CLICK on each photo in order to view them fully as eBay's gallery feature may cut off the bottom of each photo in some browsers).  The cover is VG- to perhaps VG.  Each side with general wear and stains -- the FRONT has some evident crease lines -- also, there are some nudges/slight crunches along the edges/corners as well as some occasional small areas of deep peeling along the edges/corners...one such example can be seen in PHOTO 6 near the top right corner along the top edge -- that said, the cover is firm and sturdy and NOT flimsy or ratty -- lastly, there is NO writing on either side -- to prevent seam-splitting, the disc will be placed outside of the cover during shipment).
