I Want To/ It Doesn't Matter

This is a new, unplayed stock copy from the Louise Neal collection. This amazing single just demands your attention... And don't resist: I assure you, you'll be all the better for paying attention! As far as I can determine, this was the artist's only vinyl output. Nerd alert: The "matrix numbers" on the labels indicate that "It Doesn't Matter" was the A side, but as I have cautioned numerous times in the course of working with adding/revising Discogs entries over the last few years, matrix numbers are not necessarily an indicator of a single's A/B sides — especially when you're dealing with U.S. 7-inch 45s from the 1950s-70s. Besides being clearly the better hit and dance material, I believe "I Want To" was the intended A side because of my experience with a few promo copies from the Louise Neal collection. On those promos, the A side ("I Want To") is clearly marked with an "x", this being a signal from the record company/distributor to dee jays like Neal pointing out the "plug" side of the 45 being promoted. Note: After a cleaning, this beautiful stock copy reveals pristine Mint vinyl (styrene) and audio. The labels have a touch of storage wear (see scan), lowering the Label grade to Near Mint; aside from the light storage wear, the labels look brand new. The styrene also looks new, although you can see one or two tiny scuffs if you look closely; in our grading system, the wax is still graded Mint, which to us means (as it does in the Comic Book collectors universe) "Nearly perfect in every way." ("Mint" also means, as it does in English language dictionaries, "New, or like new.") On this (previously) unplayed copy, I'd go so far as to say the audio is flawless... at the "perfect" end of Mint. :-)
