The album includes covers of Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock", Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen", and Evie Sands' "I Can't Let Go", which became a major hit for the Hollies.
This was the Hollies' last album with original bass player Eric Haydock, who took a leave of absence from the group after the American tour that followed the last recording session for the album, missing the recording session for the follow-up single "Bus Stop".
Both the stereo and mono mixes of Would You Believe? were digitally remastered at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) by Peter Mew in March 1998. In the UK, the remastered album was released with both mixes on one disc.
Would You Believe? was recorded at EMI Studios in London, UK and was produced by Ron Richards. Recording for the album commenced on 14 September 1965 when the band recorded the traditional folk-song "Stewball". Recording continued on 13 October, when "I've Got a Way of My Own" was put to tape.
The group then did not enter the studio for exactly three months, returning 13 January 1966 to record "Don't You Even Care" and the eventual single "I Can't Let Go" (the latter was later completed on 18 January). Three more songs, "Oriental Sadness", "I Take What I Want", and "Hard Hard Year" were recorded on 28 February. The following day, three more songs were put to tape: "That's How Strong My Love Is", "Take Your Time", and "Fifi the Flea". The final songs recorded before the album's release in June were "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "I Am a Rock" on 25 March.
