Notes

This release has the "SRC" logo along with a "SPAR" etching and a "B-#####" type matrix number all in the runout 'deadwax' which indicates that the Plating (Processing / Metalwork) was done at Specialty Records Corporation but the record itself was actually Pressed at Allied Record Company. 

Track A5 is mis-credited as "Stranger" on label but is correct on inner sleeve.
