The disc is VG with a number of light marks, but nothing significant.

Background: Hear the Beatles Tell All is an interview LP that was originally released in 1964 on Vee Jay records. The album features disk jockeys Jim Steck and Dave Hull interviewing the Beatles, accompanied by crowd noises and percussion from Wrecking Crew drummer Hal Blaine.
The recording is actually quite sophisticated for its time and it was the only Beatles album to which Vee Jay retained the rights after Capitol Records took over their Beatles catalog in late 1964.
The original pressings were in mono only; in 1979, the company that then owned the rights to Vee Jay material reissued the LP with a “stereo” banner at the top.
