This pressing was plated at Allied Record Company, but pressed by Specialty Records Corporation, as indicated by the Allied "ɑ" logo stamped and "AL-SP" etched in the runouts, and the "E A S T" embossed around the center hole (usually the "T" is the most visible, sometimes the only really visible letter).
