I have just listened to the record carefully, and loudly.  lol.  Please keep in mind that it's possible that a disc can play/sound differently depending on speakers/needle condition, so I am not warranting that you will hear the exact same number of pops/amount of noise per song that I did.     There is, of course, audible popping and surface noise at the beginning of each side where the needle is dropped, and in between each song.  In "Ride Into the Sun", I personally heard 2 light pops.  In "Getcha Rocks Off", I heard 1 light pop.  In "The Overture", I heard light surface noise at the opening of the song (gone by vocal intro) and again toward the end, during the quiet part of the instrumental.  I also heard one pop during the song.   But I do warrant that there are NO skips or scratches on the record.  And in my opinion, there is not sufficient noise or popping on the record to detract from the enjoyment of the music. But since it is vintage vinyl, and not a CD, please realize that there *is* some surface noise. Very rare, and authentic:  Red Label w/ Picture Sleeve! Def Leppard E.P.   Bludgeon Riffola Records  SRTS/78/CUS232 Tracks: Ride Into the Sun + Getcha Rocks Off / The Overture This is the original, independently financed 7" single that started it all for Def Leppard.  There were 1000 made, and if memory serves me correctly,  only 300-400 of those had picture sleeves. I went nuts looking for this back the 1990's to complete collection, and finally found this one.  It was sold to me by a British guy who went to High School with the members of Def Leppard.  I'm still a Def Leppard fan, but am no longer into collecting, so I'm looking to find this disc a loving new home. Although this record has been bootlegged and counterfeited over the years, I was able to verify through Kathleen Clark, who was the official Def Leppard discographer at the time, that this record, and the picture sleeve, are both authentic. The sleeve is in excellent condition, with only slight discoloration at the edges and very minor ring wear (please see pictures).  And the disc looks unplayed.  There are a few very, very slight scuffs (the kind a record gets from being slid in and out of it's cover), but no deep scuffs or scratches.  The vinyl still looks shiny new! The label color is a little off in the pictures, it is a "true red", not orangey red. Any questions, please ask!
