There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and minimal noise in between tracks. There are no skips, jumps or repeats. VERY GOOD +.

Sleeve: VERY GOOD +
The sleeve looks great. The front retains a glossy finish with bright colours. The front has several small laminate ripples. The rear is clean with just subtle discolouration. There is no sign of ring wear, fully readable square spine with minor wear, top edge and bottom edge without wear, and corners with mild wear.

The inner sleeve is in great condition. It is very clean but slightly discoloured. It is without any rips or tears but has some creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
