I have played the 2 records all the way through and listened to all tracks. All 4 sides were visually rated VG+ with a number of short superficial surface marks. These markings were superficial and did not give rise to loud ticks or other noises on play, but some quiet clicks on the soundtrack, only really noticeable in the quiet parts.
Side 1, some clicks noticeable in last track, happiness. Side 2, some ticks at the end of pass me by, and in the last track Julia. Side 3, has a depression in the vinyl at track 4, however this has no detectable effect whatever on the soundtrack. Side 4, some detectable clicks in the last 2 tracks.
There were no other hops or sticks or other loud noises, just a full 95 minutes of original MONO sound.
