JOE TEX - YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT BABY  (RARE, NORTHERN SOUL)

From one of my all-time favourite soul artists Joe Tex, this is an absolutely storming, full-blown, up-tempo, Northern Soul Stomper!

The record I’m listing now is the original 1966 US First Press on Dial Records 45-4033. The flip side is “I Believe I’m Gonna Make It”

Looked after since I bought it new, the record is in excellent condition with clean and unmarked labels (See Pics)

If you been waiting for an excellent copy of this Northern Soul gem to appear on EBay, then the wait is over,  as I’m listing it now with a ridiculously low start of just £3.  Good Luck if you’re bidding and Keep The Faith!

All the records I list are part of my very own personal collection, which I purchased brand new back in the 60’s and 70’s and transferred straight away into card record sleeves, for added protection. I’m a private seller, not a record dealer.

UK - Combined Postage

The cardboard mailers I use can hold up to three records. I’m therefore happy to combine postage, for 3 records max, over the weekend auction period, with just a small supplement of 30p per additional record, to cover the extra postage weight, as follows :-

2 records -   £2.30
3 records -   £2.60

Records up to £20 in value will be sent by Standard First Class Mail, (With retained Proof of Posting)  

Records exceeding £20 in total value will be dispatched using First Class Recorded Delivery, so please make sure that someone will be in at your address to sign for the package.  Thank You.


Record Packaging and Dispatch Details

All records will be securely dispatched in new white card sleeves, using high quality, purpose-made, corrugated cardboard record mailers, within one working day, following confirmation of payment.  

Please note, that due to problems with overseas postage, I now only offer my records to bidders within the UK.

 
RECORD HISTORY, DESCRIPTION AND GRADING

I bought all my records brand new, from reputable UK Record Shops, apart from some early Soul imports which I bought new by Mail Order direct from the US.

All my records have been well looked after. They’ve been kept in card sleeves and stored upright in professional wooden record boxes to prevent any warping, damage or deterioration.

Unlike some records offered for sale on EBay, my records have only had one careful owner - Me and, since new, they’ve been kept as part of my cherished collection. That’s why they’re all in such great condition!

RECORD RELEASE DATE

I always try, where possible, to include the record version/issue details in my listings to show whether the record is a genuine UK or US first issue, or a subsequent re-release.

RECORD GRADING EXPLANATION

Record grading is quite a subjective process, and I appreciate that buyers’ expectations will differ.

I always try though, to give an accurate and honest description of all my records, using the definitions and explanations stated below and, if anything, I tend to understate their actual condition.
 
In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with any of my descriptions or grading, please do not hesitate to contact me.

NEAR-MINT  

The record has all the appearances of a new record with little sign of having been played. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.

EXCELLENT    

The record shows some minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.

VERY GOOD   

The record has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite some surface marks and/or the occasional light scratch. Both labels will be in excellent condition unless otherwise stated.


STYRENE RECORDS

Some of my early US import records were pressed on styrene rather than vinyl.

Styrene is generally less resilient than vinyl and is more prone to the occasional “pop and crackle”.  Please bear this in mind when bidding.  


PRICING

I don’t use inflated “Buy Now” options or set unrealistically high start prices.

Most of my listings start with opening bid of just 99p, with no reserve, regardless of the likely higher value suggested by previous EBay sales or record valuation websites.  Occasionally though, I may list a more obscure record with a higher starting figure, but it will still be considerably less than its estimated value.

Sometimes I get a good price and at other times the buyer gets a bargain, but that’s all part of the fun of EBay.

Q & A

If you have any questions or comments about any of my records, please feel free to contact me. Many Thanks.
