-Specialty Records Corporation with one large and one small pressing ring but this entry has very different matrix/runout identifiers--both the Allied logo [stamped lower-case a] and SRC logo [S coiled around R and C] are present. Appears to be perhaps a hybrid (or "Frankenstein") pressing, with sides A, B, and D stamped with the Allied logo and Side C stamped with the SRC logo. The "J" after the ℗ appears to perhaps be an engineer's highly stylized mark.
