I Can't Break The Habit/ Number One Guy

Since this single didn't chart, it's hard to know which of these two quite different sides was the intended A side. I've used an arcane method called the "matrix numbers", which in this case are sequential and indicate that "Habit" was the A side. But if I were to judge by listening to the music, I would pick "Number One Guy" as the A side without a doubt... it's a floor-stomping, Motown-style dancer not to be missed! Not that "Habit" is bad... it's just not so compelling. Note: This beautiful copy has a small drillhole and comes in a vintage Philips Records factory sleeve. The A side label is pristine aside from the drillhole, but the B side label has light ringwear (see scan). The vinyl (styrene) is lightly scuffed in appearance, grading a strong EX. Fortunately, the fragile grooves have preserved pristine Mint sound.
