With this single, "I Want You To Know" was Imperial's pick for the A side. Radio programmers saw it a little differently, though, no doubt partly because "The Big Beat" was being featured in a movie of the same name. The two sides ended up getting about equal airplay, although it's the original A side that is the enduring musical jewel on this single. This copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve. Note: This 45 record has Near Mint labels. Despite a vinyl surface that grades a strong EX to reflect some light scuffing, the audio is a refreshingly loud and clear Near Mint. The picture sleeve has a touch of ringwear but grades Near Mint overall. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
