Believe Me/ It's Not My Will

This is an original stock copy from the Louise Neal 45 Collection. Here's an extremely rare Northern Soul single that can command eye-popping values when it's offered. Note: This copy has a beautiful, Near Mint appearance, with some very light shadow printing on the A label (see scan). The record looks hardly touched, but the A side audio grades EX rather than the usual Near Mint or better for Louise Neal's collection, reflecting some surface noise (from an invisible cause) that's audible near the beginning. The B side audio is Near Mint, so the overall grade is an average of the two: a strong EX.

This single was sold through the Louise Neal Auctions page. The opening bid was $700.
