Side 1, Track 1, 3 or 4 light clicks at the beginning of the Track followed by 1 click. On Track 2, 3 or 4 light clicks near the end of the Track, barely audible. On Side 2, Track 1, faint groove noise on the first 1 or 2 revolutions followed by 2 isolated, extremely light clicks. On Track 3 there are about 25 faint clicks that occur during Montrose solo.
