Notes:

This version was plated at Allied Record Company, but pressed by Specialty Records Corporation, as indicated by the [Allied 'ɑ' logo stamped and the "AL-SP" etched in the runouts.

[r=16115532 is a similar version that was pressed by Allied Record Company. That version does not have the AL-SP etching in the runouts, and will often have the letter "A" visibly or tangibly embossed in the center of the inner pressing ring on one or both sides.

On some copies, "E A S T" will be notably embossed inside the inner pressing ring, an indication it was pressed at Specialty Records Corporation. The "T" is the most visible and sometimes the only really visible letter.
