Otherwise the cover is superb. Hard to find in this condition nowadays.

NO skips ; NO clicks ; NO distortion ; NO background noise.
--- Few very small tics audible at the end of Track 3 (Side A).
--- 2 repetitive small tics on Track 1 (Side B) : 30 seconds & 50 seconds.
--- 1 repetitive small tic during about 50 seconds on Track 3 (Side B).
--- Few small tics on Track 4 (Side B).
Otherwise some small cracklings/surface noise that DO NOT compete with the music (the listening is very nice).
Note : playgraded with a stereo cartridge (not a mono cartridge as it should be to optimize the listening with a 10" LP).
