Mar 59   (BB = 11 May 59)

763-B - I Don't Know    (Starday Music)
(Herbie Duncan)

BRITESTAR 763

Mt Vernon, IN   (Floyd Whiteman)

Brite star, owned by Floyd Whitehurst, is a particularly difficult label to get to grips with as the label seems to continue from this number, and some were sent to Starday for pressing in which they farmed out the pressing duties to Rite. The general though here is that this is a genuine Starday Custom, although one or two collectors seem to disagree.

I imagine the auther of both these songs is the ledgendary Rock-A-Billy cat Herbie Duncan of Mar-Vel Records fame.

Nov 58  (BB = 16 Feb 59)

(Ray Guyce)

BRITE STAR RECORDS 747
Mt Vernon, IN

Label owned by Floyd Wiseman. The Brite Star Label is a little confusing. A fre months from this release, they issue another which then continues it's numbering series. Some arepressed by Rite of Cincinnati, OH, whereas some labels are printed by King Records. The general agreement is that if it's published by Starday (or one of its custom publishing affiliates), then it counts as a Starday Custom Pressing. However, other records on different labels fill in the gaps in the numbering series. Since the next one isn't until #763, then we can deal with it then.
